NABLUS, Saturday, March 13, 2021 (WAFA) – A Palestinian was shot and injured with live ammunition, and others suffocated as Israeli forces clashed with Palestinian residents for defending their homes against settlers who attacked Palestinian homes in the village of Burin to the south of Nablus, according to a local activist, Ghassan Daghlas

He said Israeli settlers from the illegal settlement of Givat Ronin attacked Palestinian homes on the northeastern outskirts of the village of Burin, and demolished part of a house under construction, prompting residents to confront them.

Israeli soldiers in the area intervened on behalf of the settlers and fired live bullets and teargas canisters at the Palestinians, shooting and injuring a youth in the thigh.

Dozens reportedly suffocated due to tear gas inhalation.
