47 Palestinians injured as the occupation repressed an anti-settlement demonstration south of Nablus
Occupied Jerusalem (ST): Forty-seven Palestinians were injured today as the Israeli occupation forces suppressed an anti-settlement demonstration in the town of Beita, south of Nablus in the West Bank.
Wafa news agency reported that the occupation forces fired a barrage of bullets and poison gas canisters at the participants in the demonstration, which took place at the entrance to the town, in refusal to establish a settlement outpost on the top of Al-Sabeeh Mountain, as a result of which 5 Palestinians were shot and 42 others suffocated.
Four Palestinians, including two children, were martyred and hundreds were injured as a result of the occupation forces’ attack on the daily demonstrations in the town since last month, in rejection of the occupation’s settlement plans.
In the village of Beit Jinn, east of Nablus, dozens of Palestinians were injured when the Israeli occupation forces suppressed an anti-settlement demonstration.
Wafa stated that the occupation forces fired bullets and poison gas canisters at the participants in the demonstration called by the Palestinian national factions in refusal to establish a settlement outpost on the village lands, which led to the injury of two Palestinians with bullets and dozens of cases of suffocation.
Meanwhile, a number of Palestinians were injured when the Israeli occupation forces stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
