Israeli police attack an Arab town in Israel, injuring eight, one critically. International Middle East Media Center:
"The Israeli police attacked residents and local community leaders in the Arab town of Um Al Fahem , northern Israeli, on Tuesday injuring eight civilians including one critically.
The police attack came after local residents tried to stop Israeli right wing groups from conducting a march into the Arab town, a move that is seen by the local community as provocative.
Witnesses said that thousands of police officers were deployed since early morning on Tuesday; they added that police officers fired tear gas at homes knowing that there are children inside.
Medical sources said that eight were injured including one critically; among those injured was Shikh Ra�ed Salah, the head of the Islamic Movement in Israel.
The residents of Um Al Fahem closed their shops and business since Tuesday morning as an act of protest to the right-wingers march that was allowed after a court rolling last month."
