Israeli occupation cracked down on rally in Nablus, injuring 100 Palestinians

NABLUS, Aug.2, (ST) – Today, the Israeli occupation forces cracked down on anti-land-pillage rally in Beit Dajan village, east of the West Bank city of Nablus, injuring some 100 people, according to WAFA correspondent.

He said that Israeli occupation forces used fatal violence to disperse a rally in protest of the confiscation of Palestinian-owned land to make room for colonial settlement construction.

Director of the Palestinian Red Crescent’s (PRC) Emergency Department in Nablus, Ahmad Jibril, said that 22 people were treated for rubber-coated steel bullet injuries and 75 others for tear gas suffocation.
Palestinians across in the territories occupied since 1967 and the rest of Historic Palestine have been rising up against decades of Israeli settler- colonialism and apartheid.

In almost a month, some eight Palestinians from the town were martyred and over 620 others were injured while trying to oust the colonial settler outpost built atop Mount Sabih or Sbeih near Beita town.
