(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Friday violently suppressed the peaceful marches held in different West Bank villages in protest at Israel's settlement activities.
Palestinian local sources said that the IOF intensively fired live and rubber bullets and tear gas grenades at the protests, which caused several injuries among Palestinian and foreign participants.
Several protestors suffered bullet injuries in their feet and severe tear gas suffocation in Ni'lin and Bil'in villages near Ramallah as they were protesting Israel's settlement expansion and land annexation.
In Bethlehem, the IOF also intercepted the weekly march of Masarah village and physically assaulted the protestors as they were trying to get to the segregation wall.
To the north of Ramallah, two young men suffered bullet injuries in their feet during a violent attack by Jewish settlers and Israeli troops at the entrance to Al-Jalazoun refugee camp.
Local sources reported that Jewish settlers tried to storm the camp and embarked on throwing stones at Palestinian cars and property under military protection, which prompted some young men to fend off the assailants.
In Nabi Saleh village, two children suffered rubber bullet injuries and many others suffered from tear gas inhalation.
