Clashes between Israeli soldiers and protesters near Bethlehem injure journalists

A protest against planned demolition of Palestinian homes in the Wadi al-Hummus neighbourhood was forcibly broken up by Israeli soldiers on Saturday. A journalist was reportedly injured while others suffered from teargas inhalation. Hundreds of apartments occupied by Palestinians are due to be demolished on the grounds that the buildings are too close to Israel's 'separation barrier', despite technically being on Palestinian Authority-controlled territory.
