Israeli forces suppress Christmas march in Bethlehem
Israeli forces on Tuesday suppressed a peaceful march calling for "Christmas without occupation" in Bethlehem.
Marchers held up signs reading: "Jesus came with a message of: Peace, Freedom and Justice" and "We want Christmas without occupation."
Israeli forces prevented demonstrators, some of whom were dressed as Father Christmas, from reaching the checkpoint and fired tear gas at the crowd.
Several people were treated at the scene for tear gas inhalation.
