     “Two young people were shot and wounded early yesterday morning [June 30, 2017] during clashes between [Palestinian] civilians and [Israeli] occupation forces at the western entrance of Jenin. The occupation forces invaded the city early yesterday morning and destroyed the monument in memory of Martyr (Shahid) Khaled Nazzal (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 31) - who in the past was a member of the central committee of the Democratic Front [for the Liberation of Palestine] – that was established on Haifa Street at the western entrance to Jenin.”
