<p>The protesters, marching from the Wasaya Rasul Allah mosque in southern Hebron, demanded the city&#8217;s main thoroughfare be reopened after Israeli forces shut it off shortly after extremist settler Baruch Goldstein killed 29 Palestinians at prayer. </p>
<p>Israeli forces deployed throughout the city in advance to prevent the demonstrations, an Israeli army spokesman said.</p>
<p>Soldiers detained six Palestinians from the march, including coordinator of Youth Against Settlements Badie Al-Dweik, 39, and Palestinian activist Fadi Quran. </p>
<p>Forces fired tear gas, sound grenades and foul-smelling chemicals at the demonstrators calling for the opening of Shuhada street, a Ma&#8217;an correspondent said.</p>
<p>Approximately 70 Palestinians, including a paramedic, suffered suffocation from the chemicals, medics in the city&#8217;s Muhammad Alo Al-Muhtaseb hospital said. </p>
<p>An Israeli army spokesman said two firebombs were thrown at forces, and a tire set alight at &#8220;two violent, illegal demonstrations.&#8221;</p>
<p>A 1997 agreement split Hebron into areas of Palestinian and Israeli control. </p>
<p>The Israeli military-controlled H2 zone includes the ancient Old City, home of the revered Ibrahimi Mosque &#8212; also split into a synagogue referred to as the Tomb of the Patriarchs &#8212; and the once thriving Shuhada street, now just shuttered shops fronts and closed homes.</p>
