Palestinians March in West Bank as Hunger Strike Grows 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
Palestinian demonstrators marched in the occupied West Bank on Thursday
in another show of solidarity with a growing number of Palestinian
prisoners staging a mass hunger strike in Israeli jails. Israeli forces
fired tear gas as protesters staged a rally near the military camp of
Ofer. At least 1,350 Palestinian prisoners launched a hunger strike
earlier this month and supporters say the number has now grown to more
than 2,000.
