They hate these vegetables. Stay away from the vegetables!
So the tomatoes and the cucumbers were at it again ...
The spokesman of the police, Islam Shahwan, stated to PCHR that the police initiated an investigation into the incident and called upon armed groups to conduct their military training away from populated areas.
