On Saturday, Israeli soldiers injured five Palestinians, including a child, in Kufur Qaddoum, east of Qalqilia, in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
Media sources said the Palestinians held a procession in the town before the soldiers invaded it and attacked them with rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs while several young men hurled stones at the invading army jeeps.
Medical sources said five Palestinians, including a child, 11 years of age, were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets and dozens suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
On Friday, the soldiers injured six Palestinians during the weekly procession in Kufur Qaddoum and caused many Palestinians to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
The Palestinians have been holding weekly processions in Kufur Qaddoum for the last eighteen years, demanding the army to reopen the village’s main road the soldiers blockaded to allow easy access to the illegal colonizers driving to and from Kedumim illegal colony built on stolen Palestinian lands.
