Army action against Israeli protestors sparks storm Wed May 9, 2:39 PM ET



HEBRON 2007 (AFP) - Israeli troops forcibly dispersed a demonstration by Israeli leftists outside the West Bank city of Hebron Wednesday sparking a storm of protest.

The soldiers piled into the demonstrators with their feet and rifle butts, wounding one of them in the chest, witnesses told AFP.

Footage of the army's action made the top story on the evening news bulletins of Israel's two main privately run television stations Channel Two and Channel 10.

The Israeli demonstrators had gathered near a large concrete roadblock outside Hebron to protest against the restrictions placed by the army on Palestinian freedom of movement within the occupied West Bank.

Their protest came the same day that the World Bank issued a report strongly critical of Israeli policy in the territory.
