Days of Palestine – Qalqilia
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) injured Friday at least four Palestinians during the weekly protest against Israeli settlement construction in the village of Kafr Qaddum, in the West Bank province of Qalqilia.
Morad Shtewi, a local anti-occupation activist, said that IOF attacked the protesters with rubber-coated rounds and tear gas canisters.
IOF shot injured four of them with rubber-coated rounds and caused many cases of suffocation from gas inhalation, Shtwei added.
All of the injured protesters were treated at the scene of the clashes.
For many years, villagers from Kafr Qaddum and neighboring villages have been protesting every Friday against illegal Israeli settlement construction.
Between 500,000 and 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across the occupied Palestinian Territories in violation of international law.
