A number of Palestinians were injured as a result of the occupation’s crackdown on a protest demonstration
Occupied Jerusalem ,(ST)-A number of Palestinians suffered from suffocation today as a result of the Israeli occupation forces’ suppression of a demonstration in the town of Sebastia, north of Nablus, in the West Bank, to protest against the occupation’s crimes and racist practices against the Palestinian people.
Wafa news agency reported that the occupation forces stormed the town and fired bullets and poison gas canisters at the participants in the demonstration that took place on the 45th anniversary of Earth Day, which led to a number of them suffocating.
The town has been exposed to repeated incursions by the occupation forces and settlers, especially the archaeological area, in an attempt to displace Palestinians from it and Judaize it.
