RAMALLAH, Saturday, October 12, 2019 (WAFA) – Around 50 Palestinians were injured yesterday from Israeli army gunfire in the weekly March of Return protests on the Gaza border with Israel, reported the three Palestinian Arabic dailies in their main front page story today.

They said many were also injured in the West Bank protests, mainly in Kufr Qaddoum in the north of the West Bank, also when Israeli soldiers attacked the weekly protests against settlements and seizure of Palestinian land.

Al-Quds said the army broke into the Work Health Committees’ office in Ramallah and ransacked the place.

It quoted Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh telling it in an interview from Cairo that the Palestinian Authority is ready to defend areas A in the West Bank, which are under full Palestinian control, “not by violence, but with our bodies.”

Al-Quds, al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida said Israel is planning to build a solid waste facility in the occupied West Bank to use it to extract energy.

They also said Israel’s Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, a right wing official, said Jews will soon be praying in Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Islam’s third holiest site.

Al-Ayyam said Palestinians in Israel continue to demonstrate against police inaction toward violence in their communities.

It also said the recent Palestinian ministerial visit to Cairo resulted in providing scholarships to Palestinian students studying in Egypt as well as import and export of new products.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida said 300 reporters are going to cover the football match between the Palestinian and Saudi national football teams scheduled for the Tuesday at Faisal Husseini stadium in al-Ram, just outside Jerusalem.

The three papers reported as well on the Turkish military assault in northern Syria, as well as politics in the United States.
