The World - News from April 2, 1985
Israeli border police shot and wounded four Palestinian students during a stone-throwing demonstration outside Bethlehem University, Israeli military sources and a Palestinian news agency reported. The demonstration was held in memory of Land Day--the day in 1976 when Israeli security forces killed six Israeli Arabs who were protesting Israeli land expropriations. The four students were reportedly wounded in the hands and legs. The shooting was said to have started after about 50 of the students began throwing stones at a jeep carrying Israeli soldiers.
