QALQILIA, Saturday, December 26, 2020 (WAFA) - Dozens of Palestinians suffocated today in the Israeli army crackdown on the weekly anti-settlements protest in the northern West Bank village of Kufr Qaddoum, according to local sources.

Sources said Israeli army soldiers suppressed the weekly peaceful protest, attacking demonstrators who also rallied to protest Israel’s closure of the main road that connects the village of Kufr Qaddoum with the city of Nablus since 2003.

Forces fired tear gas canisters and stun grenades toward protesters, causing dozens to suffocate due to tear gas inhalation.
