Child among dozens of protesters injured during Nil’in clashes

Friday 4-November-2016

A Palestinian child was hit with a rubber bullet in his head while dozens of locals and foreign activists choked on teargas during Nil’in clashes west of Ramallah.

The clashes broke out when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) violently suppressed the peaceful weekly march of Nil’in town with teargas bombs.

The march was organized in commemoration of the Balfour declaration.

Several local homes and cars were damaged due to the heavy firing of teargas bombs.

A child was moderately injured and taken to a local hospital after being hit by a rubber bullet in his head.

Despite the Israeli forces’ large numbers the protesters managed to perform Friday prayer in a land threatened with confiscation.
