Dozens of Palestinian protesters were injured on Friday when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired rubber-coated bullets and tear gas at the weekly march in Qalqilia village in the West Bank.
The clashes erupted when the IOF suppressed the weekly march at Kafr Qaddoum village that came in coincidence with the 34th anniversary of the first Intifada.
Medical teams treated at least six persons with rubber bullets and dozens others who suffered from teargas inhalation.
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 territories are considered illegal.
