Dozens of Palestinian protesters suffered breathing problems after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) suppressed the anti-occupation weekly marches in the West Bank on Friday.
In Nablus IOF soldiers attacked Jabal Sobeih anti-settlement protests in Beita town which led to the outbreak of violent clashes.
IOF soldiers fired teargas bombs and rubber bullets during the clashes.
Similar clashes broke out in Qaryut town southeast of Nablus after being stormed by the IOF and settlers.
During the raid the settlers attacked and damaged Palestinian vehicles.
In al-Khalil a journalist suffered rubber bullet injuries while covering clashes between IOF soldiers and Palestinian protesters at Bab al-Zawiya area.
On a weekly basis Palestinians hold demonstrations against illegal Jewish settlements in different parts of the West Bank especially in Beita Beit Dajan and Kafr Qaddoum villages.
Israeli and Palestinian estimates indicate there are about 650000 settlers living in 164 settlements and 116 outposts in the West Bank including in Occupied Jerusalem.
Under international law all Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are considered illegal.
