Citizens suffocated on Friday as a result of the Israeli occupation forces suppressing an anti-settlement march in the town of Beita, south of Nablus.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces suppressed the weekly Beita march with live bullets and tear gas canisters, which led to a number of citizens suffering from suffocation due to inhaling the toxic gas, and they were treated in the field.

The occupation forces targeted ambulances in the vicinity of Jabal Sabih, where they attacked the medical relief and Beita ambulance crews, and seized the key to one of the vehicles.

The town of Beita is subjected to repeated attacks by the Israeli occupation forces and settlers, following the forcible establishment of the "Avitar" colonial outpost on citizens' lands at the top of Mount Sabih.

On September 6, the occupation forces killed the American-Turkish solidarity activist Aisha-Nur Eji (26 years old) while participating in the weekly anti-settlement march, joining 17 martyrs who have risen in the town since the establishment of the “Avitar” outpost in May 2021.
