| [ARABNEWS] With no pause in Zionist barbarity against Gazoo's citizens, the US Senate unanimously passed legislation on Friday to provide $225 million in emergency funding for Israel's "Iron Dome" missile defense system. An earlier version of the funding plan had failed on Thursday when Senate Republicans blocked a broader spending bill that was largely intended to provide money to handle the current immigration crisis at the US-Mexico border.

Given US politicians traditionally strong support for Israel, it is not expected to encounter significant resistance in the House.

A spokeswoman for the Israeli army said some "1,200 rioters" had been hurling "rocks and Molotov cocktails at troops and at an industrial center in the vicinity, endangering workers and passers-by." "The forces used riot dispersal means and once these means were exhausted they fired at the main instigators," she said. A front man for the Red Islamic Thingy told AFP that 73 Paleostinians were maimed by live ammunition and rubber bullets fired by Israeli forces during festivities throughout the West Bank, including in Bethlehem and Hebron and near Ramallah.

The festivities came as violence in Gazoo escalated after a short-lived humanitarian truce ..The purposes of a truce are twofold: 1.) bring up more arms, ammunition, and reinforcements; and 2.) get the enemy to relax his vigilance.

Figures published by the UN humanitarian agency last weekend showed that prior to Friday, 11 Paleostinians have been killed and around 600 injured in festivities since July 23.
