At least seven Palestinians were injured by IOF-fired rubber bullets and dozens more suffered from teargas inhalation as clashes broke out after Friday prayer in Beita and Beit Dajan towns east of Nablus.
The clashes erupted in Beita town when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) violently suppressed the weekly anti-settlement protest by local residents.
A paramedic was shot in his hand by a rubber bullet during clashes while many were treated for teargas inhalation among the protests.
Similar clashes broke out in Beit Dajan town east of Nablus where dozens of Palestinians took to the streets in protest against Israeli settlement construction on their land.
However IOF forces brutally stormed the town amid heavy firing of teargas bombs and rubber bullets injuring two youths with rubber bullets.
Dozens were affected by the tear gas fired by Israeli forces.
Official estimates indicate that there are about 750000 settlers in the West Bank including occupied Jerusalem living in 164 settlements and 116 outposts.
Under international law all Israeli settlements in occupied territories are considered illegal.
