Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemned a clash Wednesday
between Israeli troops and protesters that preceded the death of a senior
Palestinian official, calling it a “barbaric act.” The official, Ziad Abu
Ein, was among Palestinians planting olive trees in protest of Israeli
settlement near the village of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, when a
scuffle broke out between participants and Israeli soldiers trying to halt
their path. The soldiers fired stun grenades and tear gas, witnesses said.
Abu Ein, who headed authority efforts against Israeli settlements and the
Israeli separation barrier, collapsed at the site and died shortly
afterward at a medical facility in Ramallah. Abu Ein was recorded saying,
“This is a terrorist army that employs terror against the Palestinian
people.” He said his group had come to tend to olive trees and was attacked
by the Israeli military.

Unbelievable, pitiful.
