Dozens of Palestinians injured in West Bank weekly protests

Friday 4-March-2022

Dozens of Palestinians suffered from teargas inhalation fired by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) who broke into Bab Al-Zawiya in al-Khalil and in various areas in Nablus on Friday afternoon.

In al-Khalil the clashes erupted in Bab Al-Zawiya and Al-Shuhada Street when the IOF suppressed the anti-occupation protests held after Friday prayers.

The IOF troops heavily fired teargas bombs at the protesters many of them were treated for teargas suffocation.

In Nablus dozens of civilians were injured during Beita and Beit Dajan clashes in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Red Crescent stated that at least 102 injuries with rubber-coated metal bullets were reported in the confrontations.

A Red Crescent ambulance was directly hit during the clashes injuring a medic.

On a weekly basis Palestinians hold demonstrations against illegal Jewish settlements in different parts of the West Bank especially in Beita Beit Dajan and Kafr Qaddoum villages.

Israeli and Palestinian estimates indicate there are about 650000 settlers living in 164 settlements and 116 outposts in the West Bank including in Occupied Jerusalem.

Under international law all Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are considered illegal.
