Palestinian medical sources have confirmed that Israeli soldiers injured, Friday, 113 Palestinians during a procession against the illegal colonies and annexation of Palestinian lands in Beita village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Palestinian Red Crescent’s (PRC) Emergency Department in Nablus, said the soldiers shot 16 Palestinians with live fire, and 20 with rubber-coated steel bullets, and added that 73 Palestinians suffered the effects of teargas inhalation.
The Palestinians were injured when the soldiers attack the nonviolent protests on their lands in Jabal Abu Sbeih Mountain, where Israeli colonists recently set up an illegal outpost, after placing 20 mobile homes on the Palestinian lands.
Jibril added that one of the injured Palestinians was shot with a live round in the neck and is currently in a profoundly serious condition.
The Palestinians have been holding processions protesting the illegal annexation of their lands and livelihoods.
During these protests, the soldiers killed two Palestinians, identified as Dr. Issa Barham, 40, a District Attorney with the Palestinian Public Prosecution Department, who was fatally shot by the soldiers on Friday, May 14th, 2021, and Zakariya Hamayel, 28, who was shot and killed on Friday, May 28th, 2021.
Dozens of Palestinians have been injured by live Israeli army rounds, in addition to rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.
The WAFA Palestinian News Agency has reported that the number of colonists living in Jewish-only colonial settlements across occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in violation of international law has jumped to over 700,000 and colonial settlement expansion has tripled since the signing of Oslo Accords in 1993.
Israel’s nation-state law, passed in July 2018, enshrines Jewish supremacy, and states that building and strengthening the colonial settlements is a “national interest.”

Israeli soldiers shot, Friday, ten Palestinians with live fire, including one who suffered life-threatening wounds, after the army attacked a procession on Palestinian lands in Abu Sbeih Mountain, in Beita town, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Ambulance and Emergency Department at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the medics rushed ten Palestinians, who were shot with live fire, to a hospital in Nablus, including one who suffered profoundly serious wounds.
PRCS medics also provided treatment to several Palestinians who were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets, and those who suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
The Palestinians were nonviolently marching on their lands during a procession that was organized by local social and political organizations, in addition to popular nonviolent resistance committees, protesting the illegal Israeli colonialist takeover of Palestinian lands.
It is worth mentioning that the illegal Israeli colonists installed a new outpost, earlier on May of this year, on Palestinian lands in Abu Sbeih Mountain, leading to daily protests.
During these protests, the soldiers killed two Palestinians, identified as Dr. Issa Barham, 40, a District Attorney with the Palestinian Public Prosecution Department, who was fatally shot by the soldiers on Friday, May 14th, 2021, and Zakariya Hamayel, 28, who was shot and killed on Friday, May 28th, 2021.
Dozens of Palestinians have been injured by live Israeli army rounds, in addition to rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.
