NABLUS, (PIC)– Dozens suffered breathing difficulties after Israeli occupation forces cracked down Saturday on continued marches in Iraq Burin west of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
The soldiers used rubber bullets and tear gas also injuring a 25-year-old Palestinian man in the hand. He was later treated at the local hospital.
The IOF has declared the village a closed military zone and has blocked the entry of supporters, who arrive regularly to take part in weekly rallies condemning Jewish settlement activity and the confiscation of Palestinian land.
Meanwhile, IOF soldiers attacked a group of supporters who arrived to aid Palestinian farmers in Beit Ummar north of Al-Khalil in southern West Bank, locals reported.
Foreign supporters and farmers gathered at farmland threatened to be seized by Jewish settlers.
The sources said the soldiers used their fists as they delved into clashes with the protesters and tried to arrest a thirteen-year-old boy at the location and eventually evacuated the area.
