RAMALLAH, Friday, November 30, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces quelled on Friday protests by Palestinian farmers and activists in the villages of Ras Karkar, Mughayer and Bal’in in Ramallah district, in the central West Bank.

In Ras Karkar, hundreds of protesters took part in the weekly protest following Friday prayer against Israel’s plan to confiscate large tracts of Palestinian-owned land outside the village, before they were attacked by teargas by the Israeli soldiers. Several protesters suffocated from gas inhalation.

Soldiers also fired rubber-coated steel rounds and teargas canisters towards the protesters in the nearby villages of Mughayer and Bal’in to disperse them, causing many cases of suffocation from gas inhalation.
