Dozens of Palestinian and foreign activists were injured after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) suppressed Nil’in weekly march west of Ramallah.
Member of the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in Nil’in Mohamed Amira affirmed that several activists suffered breathing problems after Israeli forces violently attacked the peaceful march with teargas bombs.
Several local homes were also targeted with teargas bombs he added.
The participants chanted slogans in protest against Israeli occupation and in support of Palestinian prisoners.
Amira pointed out that the protesters performed Friday prayer in nearby olive groves where the preacher Murad Amira condemned the latest Israeli attempts to pass legislation legalizing Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and banning the call to prayer via loudspeakers.
