IOF quells anti-settlement march in southern Nablus

Tuesday 8-June-2021

Dozens of Palestinian protesters suffered breathing problems after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) showered them with teargas canisters in southern Nablus on Tuesday.

Local sources said that the IOF soldiers fired teargas bombs at the demonstrators in Beita village to the south of Nablus who were protesting the confiscation of large swaths of lands of Beita and Huwara villages to build a road for Jewish settlers.

They added that many suffered breathing difficulty while an ambulance car was hit with a gas bomb that shattered its windshield.

National factions had called for the march to protest the building of the road that would deprive both villages of large areas of their lands.
