Dozens of protesters including pro-Palestine activists were injured on Friday as Israeli occupation forces IOF suppressed an anti-settlement march in Burin, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

Local sources reported that Israeli forces attacked the protestors with tear gas canisters and rubber-coated steel bullets, resulting in injuring at least 33 protesters.

According the Palestinian Red Crescent, one of the Red Crescent’s ambulance crews was directly hit by a tear gas canister, and other 5 foreign pro-Palestine activists were wounded with rubber-coated metal bullets.
