Israeli soldiers injured, Friday, dozens of Palestinians, including two journalists, during the weekly processions against the illegal colonialist activities, in Beita and Beit Dajan, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency Department of the Nablus branch of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the soldiers fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades, at the protesters on their lands.
Jibril added that the soldiers shot nineteen Palestinians with rubber-coated steel bullets, including a correspondent with the Palestinian TV, identified as Bakr Abdul-Haq, who was shot in the shoulder.
He added that at least three Palestinians, including one journalist, suffered cuts and bruises, in addition to dozens who suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Eyewitnesses said the soldiers deliberately targeted medical teams and reporters during the processions.
In Beit Dajan, east of Nablus, the soldiers attack the peaceful protests against Israel’s illegal colonies, causing seventeen Palestinians to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
The soldiers attacked the protesters with several live rounds, in addition to gas bombs, concussion grenades, and rubber-coated steel bullets.
The protests have been ongoing for the past several months since Israeli colonizers occupied Sbeih Mountain, in Beita town, and installed an illegal outpost dubbed Givat Avitar, on stolen Palestinian lands.
