NABLUS, Friday, October 14, 2022 (WAFA) – A number of Palestinians Friday suffered from suffocation as Israeli soldiers oppressed an anti-settlement protest in the village of Beit Dajan, to the east of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to sources.

Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Palestinian Red Crescent Emergency and Ambulance Department, said that 24 Palestinians suffered from suffocation due to inhaling tear gas bombs fired at them by the soldiers.

He added that one youth was injured with a gas canister in his hand, and another in his foot.

Beit Dajan village, whose lands are threatned of being seized in favor of settlements, has been seen several confrontations between Palestinians and Israeli forces over the last few months.
