IOF suppresses West Bank anti-settlement protests

Saturday 16-July-2022

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) suppressed on Friday the anti-occupation weekly protests in the West Bank.

A journalist was injured while dozens of youths suffered from teargas inhalation as demonstrators were violently dispersed during the weekly protests in Jabal Subeeh in Beita town south of Nablus.

Also in Nablus Israeli forces suppressed an anti-settlement protest held against the establishment of a new outpost at the lands of Beit Dajan town.

Rubber bullets and gas canisters were heavily fired at the participants.

In Qalqilya at least eight people were injured while dozens more suffered from teargas inhalation after IOF troops violently suppressed the Kafr Qaddoum weekly march.

In Tulkarem the guard of Avni Hefetz illegal settlement attacked an old Palestinian farmer while he was working in his land in the village of Shoufa.

The Palestinian farmer suffered several bruises all over his body and was taken to Dr. Thabet Thabet Government Hospital in Tulkarem.

Palestinians typically hold weekly demonstrations to protest Israel’s illegal settlement activities and the separation wall that snakes through the occupied West Bank.
