QALQILIA, Friday, September 06, 2019 (WAFA) – At least three Palestinians were injured with rubber-coated rounds today by Israeli occupation forces, during the weekly anti-settlements protest in the village of Kafr Qaddum in the northern West Bank, local sources said.

Israeli soldiers attacked the protesters by rubber-coated rounds, injuring  three protesters and causing many cases of suffocation from gas inhalation. The injured were treated at the scene by the Palestinian Red Cross medics.

Almost every Friday, villagers from Kafr Qaddum and neighboring villages organize a nonviolent protest on Fridays against illegal Israeli settlements, and to call on Israeli authorities to reopen the village’s main road, which has been sealed by the occupation authorities since 2002.
