Israeli regime forces attack Palestinian protesters in West Bank

Israeli regime forces have brutally dispersed Palestinians taking part in several protests against the illegal Zionist settlements across the West Bank.

According to reports, the Palestine Red Crescent ambulance service said a Palestinian man had been hit by rubber bullets and dozens of others had suffered breathing difficulties due to inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli regime forces at the protest in the village of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus, on Friday.

For several months, Beit Dajan has been witnessing clashes between Zionist troops and Palestinians protesting in areas threatened with seizure by the Israeli regime for the expansion of the illegal settlements. At least half of the total area of Beit Dajan has so far been seized by Zionist regime for the construction of the illegal settlements.

To the south of Nablus, Israeli forces suppressed a weekly rally in the flashpoint town of Beita on Friday.

Hundreds of people performed Friday noon prayers near Sobeih Mountain and marched toward the mountain to protest against a settlement outpost that has been recently established there, but they were met with force by Israeli troops, who fired tear gas and rubber bullets at them.

Moreover, Israeli forces cracked down on a weekly protest in Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya City, on Friday, using tear gas and rubber bullets. Tens of Palestinians were injured during the clashes.

Also on Friday, Israeli forces attacked a protest against the illegal settlements and settler violence south of the occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil, using tear gas and sound bombs, and left dozens of people suffering breathing difficulties from inhaling the toxic fumes.

Hundreds of Palestinians as well as foreign activists took part in the protest, in the Umm al-Shaqhan Village, which is threatened with Israeli seizure, east of Yatta City.

Three Palestinians and two pro-Palestine foreign activists were detained by the Israelis during the protest.
