On March 7 the activists had been peacefully demonstrating against the death of a young Palestinian man, who sustained injuries during clashes in the village of Abud, north of Jerusalem, and had unfurled banners and were waving flags.
“The rally was not numerous. No one [from the] activists was going to throw stones [at IDF soldiers] or initiate clashes,” RT’s correspondent Yafa Staiti said.
IDF forces asked both the journalists and protesters to retreat 60 meters, and as the journalists began to stand back, the Zionist soldiers started to fire the teargas at both them and the protesters.
