Dozens of Palestinian protestors were injured in clashes with Israeli soldiers in villages northwest of the West Bank city of Nablus on Friday Palestinian medics and journalists were among the injured.
Three Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets and 15 others suffered from suffocation after inhaling tear gas fired by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in the village of Beita northwest of Nablus.
Four journalists were brutally attacked and injured during the clashes.
Similar clashes broke out in Beit Dajan town where two medics and three journalists were injured during the events.
Eight rubber bullet injuries and 37 cases of breathing difficulty as a result of the intensive use of teargas bombs on the part of the IOF were also reported in Beit Dajan clashes.
In Qalqilia ten Palestinians were wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets including a 13-year-old child when the IOF soldiers brutally attacked the weekly anti-settlement march of Kafr Qaddoum.
On a weekly basis Palestinians hold demonstrations against illegal Jewish settlements in different parts of the West Bank especially in Beita Beit Dajan and Kafr Qaddoum villages.
Israeli and Palestinian estimates indicate there are about 650000 settlers living in 164 settlements and 116 outposts in the West Bank including in Occupied Jerusalem.
Under international law all Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are considered illegal.
