Dozens of Palestinian citizens choked on tear gas fired by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) to quell a peaceful protest in al-Khalil south of the West Bank.
Local sources said that violent confrontations flared up when the IOF attacked dozens of Palestinians demonstrating against the annexation and settler attacks in al-Khalil.
The IOF heavily fired tear gas canisters stun grenades and rubber-coated metal bullets at the demonstrators. Many suffered tear gas suffocations and were treated in the field.
A wave of mass protests has hit the Palestinian territories lately over Israel’s plan to annex the Jordan Valley and large parts of the Occupied West Bank.
