Palestinians injured during IOF violent quelling of peaceful marches

Friday 3-February-2023

Clashes were reported between Palestinian youths and Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Friday following the anti-settlement marches in several areas of the West Bank.

IOF soldiers fired rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas bombs at Palestinian protestors to quell the anti-settlement marches in Beit Dajan village in Nablus and in Kafr Qaddoum village in Qalqilya causing breathing problems to several Palestinian citizens.

Meanwhile Palestinian protestors called for removing the settlement outpost of Avitar in Beita village south of the West Bank city of Nablus.

They also chanted slogans in solidarity with the human rights defender Jonathan Pollak who was arrested at the entrance of Beita last week.

Since October 2020 Palestinian citizens have been calling for removing the settlement outpost that was installed in the northeast of Beit Dajan village.

Kafr Qaddoum village in Qalqilya has witnessed every Friday marches since July 2011 to demand the opening of the village’s main entrance which has been closed by the IOF for many years.
