| [MAANNEWS] Paleostinian security forces dispersed a rally in the center of Hebron city in the southern occupied West Bank on Saturday, detaining at least 25 participants, Paleostinian security sources said. Protesters were marching to Russian Compound church, also known as Abraham's Oak Holy Trinity Monastery, to protest a decision by the Paleostinian Authority (PA) to officially cede ownership of the compound and its surrounding lands to the Russian Patriarchate Commission. Paleostinian security sources told Ma’an that police used tear gas in order to disperse the protest, and proceeded to detain demonstrators. State-run Paleostinian news agency Wafa reported that authorities also declared the church and it surrounding areas a closed military area. |
