Saturday evening, a medical source in Qalqilia reported that dozens of residents, Israeli and international peace activists suffocated after inhaling gas fired by the army, while they were protesting against the Wall in Qalqilia.
The WAFA news agency reported that soldiers fired gas bombs, and rubber coated bullets while the protestors were attempting to reach a gate installed between the villages of Azzoun and Kafer Thuluth, east of Qalqilia.ÂÂ
At least five residents were badly bruised after the soldiers attacked and clubbed them, and were transferred to local clinic in Azzoun.
The protestors chanted slogans against the Wall, settlements and Israeli polices of land grab and annexation, and demanded Israeli to implement the international resolutions and the decisions of the International High Court of Justice.ÂÂ
