Rasa - The Palestinian Authority's security forces have broken up a rally in support of Gaza in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
RNA - Riot police used batons, sound grenades and tear gas on Wednesday to disperse the demonstrators. Injuries and arrests were reported at the scene.
The protest was held despite a temporary ban on demonstrations issued earlier on Wednesday. Organizers have promised further rallies.
Protesters have been calling on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to drop measures against Gaza, which they believe punish its nearly two million residents.
