Israeli soldiers invaded, on Monday at dawn, a mosque in Halhoul town, north of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, to accompany colonialist settlers into the holy site, and injured six Palestinians, in addition to causing dozens to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Medical sources said six Palestinians were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets, and dozens suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation, before receiving the needed treatment by medics of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
