Two Palestinians suffered rubber-coated bullet injuries while dozens others suffered from tear-gas inhalation in the Israeli occupation forces’ (IOF) quelling of the anti-occupation weekly march in Kafr Qaddoum town east of Qalqilya on Friday.
Eyewitnesses reported that the IOF fired metal bullets sound bombs and gas canisters at the participants injuring dozens of them.
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.
