JERUSALEM, Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- Some 40 young Palestinians clashed with Israeli troops Wednesday afternoon at a major checkpoint north of Jerusalem, an Israeli Defense Forces spokesman said. Protesters burned tires and hurled stones at Israeli soldiers as thousands of their compatriots in West Bank cities celebrated over an expected request for statehood recognition in the United Nations later this week, the spokesman told Xinhua, adding that no injuries were reported. Soldiers at the Qalandya crossing point between Ramallah and Jerusalem used non-lethal riot gear to disperse the protestors, including tear gas and an acoustic cannon nicknamed "The Screamer. " The jeep-mounted audio device can emit a piercing, focused tone in bursts at a frequency that is uncomfortable to its targeted demonstrators. It also is reported to cause disorientation, and, in some cases, nausea. Palestinians in Ramallah, to the north of the checkpoint, packed into Manara square and shot off fireworks to celebrate over the bid for recognition of the full membership in the UN. Similar celebrations were held in Nablus, Jenin, Bethlehem, and Hebron. Israeli drivers traveling near the settlement of Karnei Shomron in the northern West Bank said their vehicles were shot, according to Army radio. Palestinian officials have vowed to keep the situation in the territories peaceful and under control ahead of the statehood bid later this week, and Israeli military officials expected no major flare-ups.Israeli troops disperse palestinian rioters in north jerusalem - PVC Business CardsIsraeli troops disperse palestinian rioters in north jerusalem - PVC Business CardsIsraeli troops disperse palestinian rioters in north jerusalem - PVC Business CardsIsraeli troops disperse palestinian rioters in north jerusalem - PVC Business CardsIsraeli troops disperse palestinian rioters in north jerusalem - PVC Business CardsIsraeli troops disperse palestinian rioters in north jerusalem - PVC Business CardsIsraeli troops disperse palestinian rioters in north jerusalem - PVC Business Cards The e-commerce company in China offers quality products such as PVC Business Cards , China Printed Plastic Cards, and more.
