Injuries during clashes in Nablus Jenin

Friday 9-July-2021

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Friday attacked Palestinians in Nablus and Jenin injuring dozens of them.

The Red Crescent Society said that its crews treated with 83 injuries in Beita south of Nablus after clashes broke out with the IOF.

It pointed out that among the injuries were 8 with live bullets 55 with tear gas canisters and 10 with metal-coated bullets.

The Red Crescent Society added that IOF deliberately targeted its crews and one of them was wounded in his chest.

Beita has been witnessing daily confrontations for nearly two months as part of protest activities against the establishment of the Givat Avitar outpost on the top of the Sobeih Mountain.

Meanwhile eyewitnesses said that IOF soldiers suppressed the weekly Beit Dajan march east of Nablus.

The soldiers fired live bullets and stun grenades at the participants. No injuries were reported.

The march was launched after performing Friday prayer in the center of the village towards the eastern region rejecting the establishment of a settlement outpost.

In Jenin the IOF soldiers stormed the Tersala Mosque near Jaba’ town and forced the Muslim worshipers to leave the mosque.

IOF also blocked maintenance and repair works in the mosque and prevented the citizens from performing Friday prayer in it.

The IOF soldiers fired rubber-coated metal bullets and stun grenades at random and were deployed inside and around the area and on Jenin-Nablus Street.

The area is constantly exposed to incursions by the IOF soldiers along with settlers’ attempts to seize it.
