Friday 23-June-2023

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

Israeli soldiers fired live bullets rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas bombs at Palestinian protestors in Beit Dajan village in Nablus and in Kafr Qaddoum village in Qalqilya.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that five Palestinian citizens were injured in Beit Dajan village.

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

In a related development ten Palestinian citizens were injured after clashes erupted between IOF soldiers and Palestinian protestors who called for removing the settlement outpost of Evyatar in Beita village south of Nablus according to the PRCS.

In another incident a number of Palestinian citizens suffered breathing problems after the Israeli soldiers fired teargas bombs at Palestinian houses in Qaryut village south of Nablus to facilitate the Jewish settlers’ raid into the village according to local sources.
