The clashes took place in an area close to the Hadashta illegal Israeli settlement, built on privately-owned Palestinian lands, the Palestine News Network (PNN) reported.

The residents were marching in support of all hunger striking detainees held by Israel, especially detainee Samer Al-Eesawy, who started his strike 209 days ago, and is in facing very serious health complications.

The army attacked the protesters by firing gas bombs and rubber-coated metal bullets at them leading to 40 injuries.

Earlier on Sunday at dawn, the army broke into the home of Al-Eesawy in Al-Eesawiyya town in occupied East Jerusalem, and kidnapped his brother, Shadi.

Their brother, Midhat, is also a political prisoner held by Israel.

The soldiers also kidnapped another resident identified as Mahmoud Fayez Mahmoud.
