Dozens of Palestinians injured as a result of the occupation’s suppression of demonstrations in the West Bank

Occupied Jerusalem (ST): Dozens of Palestinians were injured today as a result of the Israeli occupation forces’ suppression of two anti-settlement demonstrations in Nablus in the West Bank.

Wafa Agency stated that the occupation forces fired bullets and poison gas canisters at the participants in two demonstrations in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, and the village of Beit Dajan, east of it, to protest against the occupation’s plans to seize areas of its lands and establish settlement outposts, which led to the injury of 15 of them and dozens of cases of suffocation.

A number of Palestinians, including children, were martyred and hundreds were injured as a result of the Israeli occupation forces’ assault on the daily demonstrations taking place in the town of Beita since last May, in refusal to establish a settlement outpost on the top of Jabal Subaih, which is in the middle of the towns of Beita, Qabalan and Yatma, south of Nablus. 

Meanwhile, a number of Palestinians were injured as a result of the Israeli occupation forces’ suppression of the weekly Kafr Qaddum demonstration against settlements and demanding the opening of the village street, which was closed for more than 17 years, east of Qalqilya in the West Bank.

The coordinator of the popular resistance in Kafr Qaddoum, Murad Shteiwi, told Wafa that the occupation forces stormed the village and fired bullets and poisonous gas canisters at the participants in the demonstration, causing two of them to be shot and others to suffocate.
