BURIN, West Bank (AP) — Israeli troops fired tear gas and stun grenades at rock-throwing Palestinian protesters Saturday as soldiers tried to dismantle an encampment that activists set up in the West Bank to protest Israeli building restrictions.

The al-Manatir camp — a group of four tents and five metal shacks built in a Palestinian olive grove near the West Bank village of Burin — is the fourth protest encampment that Palestinians have tried to establish in recent weeks. The Palestinians are trying to draw attention to Israel’s control of territory that they want for their future state.
