Palestinians in the occupied West Bank decided to take to the streets after Friday Prayer in solidarity with the Egyptians and to condemn the bloody dispersal of the two anti-coup protests in Egypt.

The first march started from The Large Mosque in Al-Beera City. Sources from the West Bank said that the Palestinian Authority security services crushed the march immediately and detained two Hamas leaders; Jamal al-Taweel and Hussein Abu-Kweek.

Witnesses said that about 250 security staff surrounded the march and attacked the protesters with batons to disperse them.

Meanwhile, a big march started from Abu-Sneenah neighbourhood in Hebron. As they passed across an Israeli checkpoint near Al-Ibrahimi Mosque, the occupation forces launched tear gas and dispersed them.
