Activist Mohamed Awad said clashes broke out in al-Dhuhr area opposite to the illegal Israeli outpost of Karmi Tsur.
The occupation soldiers attacked the Palestinian anti-occupation protesters with randomly-discharged spates of teargas canisters. A number of Palestinians choked on teargas in the clashes.
The occupation soldiers further blocked off the main access road to Sh’ab al-Seir area before Palestinian civilians.
