The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Friday afternoon shot and injured a number of Palestinian citizens in the weekly demonstration of Kafr Qaddum village in the West Bank district of Qalqilya.
The protesters chanted slogans condemning the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil on Wednesday.
Local sources said that the IOF fired rubber-coated metal bullets and stun grenades at the peaceful demonstrators injuring three of them.
They added that the IOF soldiers chased the youths on the streets and clashed with them but no arrests were reported.
Earlier on the day the IOF installed a military checkpoint at the entrance to Kafr Qaddum obstructing the movement of Palestinian residents.
