Casualties reported as Palestinian protesters clash with IDF soldiers in Jordan Valley on November 24; further protests likely
Event
Clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers in the Jordan Valley resulted in two protesters and one soldier injured. The protesters had gathered to demonstrate over the demolition of the village of Khirbet Humsa earlier in November, which resulted in 73 people being made homeless. The clashes took place near the Tayaseer checkpoint near Tubas and northeast of Nablus.
Further demonstrations are to be expected over the issue, with clashes between protesters and Israeli security forces likely at protest sites.
