Palestinians March in West Bank as Hunger Strike Grows

HeadlineApr 27, 2012

Palestinian demonstrators marched in the occupied West Bank on Thursday in another show of solidarity with a growing number of Palestinian prisoners staging a mass hunger strike in Israeli jails. Israeli forces fired tear gas as protesters staged a rally near the military camp of Ofer. At least 1,350 Palestinian prisoners launched a hunger strike earlier this month, and supporters say the number has now grown to more than 2,000.
