Violent clashes broke out in different areas of the West Bank after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) suppressed the weekly anti-occupation marches.

In Nablus clashes erupted after the IOF and Jewish settlers stormed different towns and villages in the governorate.

IOF soldiers attacked Jabal Sobeih anti-settlement protests in Beita town which led to the outbreak of violent clashes. IOF soldiers fired teargas bombs and rubber bullets during the clashes.

A young man was wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets in his hand while dozens others suffered from teargas inhalation.

Several Palestinians were also injured in the nearby Beit Dajan town after IOF troops suppressed the weekly anti-settlement march.

Similar clashes broke out in Qaryut town southeast of Nablus after being stormed by the IOF and settlers. Several Palestinian citizens were injured during the settler attack.

In Qalqilya dozens of Palestinian citizens suffered from their exposure to tear gas during clashes with the IOF soldiers in Kafr Qaddum town.

According to local sources the IOF attacked the weekly anti-settlement march of Kafr Qaddum and showered the participants with volleys of tear gas grenades and fired rubber bullets at them as they reached the closed western entrance of the town.

Local youths for their part clashed with the IOF soldiers and hurled stones at them.

Residents of Kafr Qaddum started staging weekly marches in 2011 to protest Israeli settlement activities and land grabs and to demand in particular the reopening of their village’s southern road which has been blocked by the IOF for long years. This road is the main route to the nearby city of Nablus the nearest economic center.

The Israeli army blocked off the road after expanding the illegal settlement of Kedumim in 2003 forcing the local residents to take a bypass road in order to travel to Nablus which has extended the travel time to Nablus from 15 minutes to 40 minutes according to Israeli rights group B’Tselem.

87 Palestinians including 4 journalists were injured as Israeli occupation forces (IOF) violently dispersed demonstrations in Beita and Beit Dajan towns south of Nablus on Friday afternoon.

According to the Palestine Red Crescent dozens of Palestinians including four journalists were injured during clashes that erupted in the vicinity of Jabal Sobeih area in Beita south of Nablus.

The Palestinian Red crescent crews said they treated 71 casualties including 5 who were hit with rubber-coated metal bullets and 57 who suffered from breathing problems.

The clashes broke out after IOF soldiers stormed the area to provide protection for a settlers’ planned march in Jabal Sobeih. The soldiers fired teargas and sound bombs at the protesters.

Meanwhile mosques called on residents to intensify presence in the Jabal Sobeih area to fight the takeover of their land by Jewish settlers who are currently building an illegal settlement and threatening the livelihoods of at least 17 Palestinian families who depend on harvesting their olives on land they have owned there for generations.

Similar clashes broke out Beit Dajan in Nablus where 16 Palestinians were injured including two who were hit with metal bullets.

On the other hand a young man was shot and injured in Bethlehem clashes. Dozens suffered from teargas inhalation due to the intensive use of teargas bombs on the part of the IOF.

Also on Friday Israeli forces suppressed Kafr Qaddum weekly anti-settlement rally in Qalqilya Province.

Palestinian media reports said scores of Palestinians suffered breathing difficulties due to inhaling tear gas fired by the IOF soldiers during the clashes.
