Condition of injured Ofer protester worsens

The condition of a protester injured in Friday clashes near Ofer prison has worsened, medics said on Saturday. Musa al-Shuani, 21, was sent to intensive care and his condition was described as serious. Al-Shuani, a student at Bir Zeit university, was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet on Friday. He is the leader of an Islamic student group at the university. Four Palestinians were injured Friday as Israeli forces suppressed a solidarity demonstration with Palestinian prisoners who have been on hunger strike for 18 days. Israeli forces also fired tear gas and stun grenades towards the demonstration to disperse it, and Palestinian youths threw stones toward the soldiers, witnesses said.
