The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday violently quelled a peaceful demonstration in solidarity with Jerusalem at Huwara checkpoint north of Nablus city.
Eyewitnesses said that the IOF heavily fired teargas canisters and rubber-coated metal bullets at the demonstrators. A number of Palestinians suffered breathing difficulties as a result of inhaling teargas.
The witnesses noted that large military reinforcements were summoned in the area while Israeli drones kept hovering in the sky.
The demonstration was organized by several Palestinian groups in Nablus to express solidarity with Jerusalem which is being subjected to systematic violations and aggressions.
