NABLUS, Friday, January 6, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli forces today cracked down on the weekly anti-settlement-and-land-grab demonstration in the town of Beit Dejan, east of Nablus, according to medical sources.

Forces attacked participants in the peaceful rally with live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas bombs, causing injury to one of the participants after being struck in the foot with a tear gas bomb.

According to Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Palestinian Red Crescent Emergency and Ambulance Department, at least ten Palestinians suffered from suffocation due to tear gas inhalation. They were all treated at the scene.

Palestinians there have been protesting against Israel’s theft of Palestinian land for the benefit of settlement expansion.
