Injuries in separate clashes in the West Bank

A number of citizens were injured by live bullets, rubber-coated bullets, and suffocation, during clashes that erupted with the occupation forces in the West Bank governorates, today, Friday.

In Qalqilya, three civilians were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets and dozens of others suffocated, as a result of the Israeli occupation forces suppressing the participants in the weekly Kafr Qaddum anti-settlement march, east of Qalqilya.


The march started, after performing Friday prayers, from the Omar bin Al-Khattab Mosque, with the participation of hundreds of villagers, in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Nakba and denouncing the march of settler flags in Jerusalem and the settlers' repeated incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque, with the support of the Israeli occupation government.


In Nablus, a number of civilians suffocated during clashes with the Israeli occupation forces in the towns of Beita and Qaryut, south of Nablus, and the village of Beit Dajan, to the east.


And local sources reported that clashes broke out in Qaryut after the settlers, protected by the occupation forces, stormed the water spring area in the village, during which the occupation soldiers fired live bullets, stun grenades and tear gas at the citizens, which led to the injury of a number of them suffocation.


Medical sources reported that 12 citizens suffocated due to gas inhalation during clashes in the eastern region in Beit Dajan, while two citizens suffocated during clashes in Jabal Subaih in the town of Beita, and they were treated in the field.
