3 civilians were injured during the suppression of a march rejecting settlements in Beit Dajan

- Dozens of citizens were wounded by bullets and tear gas on Friday during the occupation forces´ suppression of the weekly anti-settlement march in the town of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.

Dozens participated in the march that began in the afternoon, rejecting the establishment of the settlement outpost in the east of the town, and in loyalty to the martyr Atef Hanaysheh, who was shot dead by the occupation a week ago.

The marchers raised Palestinian flags, chanting slogans denouncing the settlements, and the soldiers fired tear gas and metal bullets at them.

Medical sources reported that three civilians were wounded by rubber-coated metal bullets, one of them in the head, and he was taken to hospital for treatment.
