Stone throwing incidents and other public disturbances erupted on the West Bank today as Palestinians, mainly youths demonstrated on the 35th anniversary of the United Nations partition resolution of November 29, 1947 which called for the establishment of Jewish and Arab states in Palestine.
Israeli officials said the incidents were minor, compared to demonstrations on the same occasion in previous years. An Israeli policeman was injured by stone-throwers in Ramallah where re-enforced security forces attempted to maintain order.
Curfews were imposed on the Dahaishe refugee camp south of Bethlehem after stone-throwing rampages and on the casbah in Nablus, following a student demonstration. Israeli soldiers fired teat gas bombs to disperse the crowds. Several schools closed earlier than usual.
