The third daily, al-Hayat al-Jadida, reported as well on the injuries and said a Gaza fisherman was among them when his boat was shot at by an Israeli navy ship as settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jilboun, Irtas, and Sebastia in the occupied West Bank.
The newspaper said that the Israeli prison forces raided section 5 in Ramon prison and moved all the Palestinian freedom fighters, as the prisoner Kayed al-Fasfous completed two months of hunger strike in protest against his detention without charges.
It said a British citizen walked 2700 kilometers from Europe to the occupied territories in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
