Meanwhile eight members of the same family suffered from tear-gas inhalation after being attacked by a group of Jewish settlers in Beita town in southern Nablus.
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at the local residents to evacuate a settler who infiltrated into Beita town which led to the outbreak of violent clashes.
