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

Clashes erupted between IOF soldiers and Palestinian protesters who called for removing the settlement outpost of Evyatar in Beita village to the south of Nablus.

Meanwhile a number of Palestinian citizens were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets while several others suffered breathing problems in Kafr Qaddoum to the east of Qalqilya.
