Dozens of residents were suffocated by clashes that broke out in the village of Kafr Kadum, east of Qalqilya, with Israeli soldiers after friday prayers and the start of the weekly march towards the entrance, which has been closed since 2003, isolating the village from the outside world.
Local sources reported that israeli soldiers suppressed the marchers by firing metal and rubber bullets and tear gas canisters, which led to mass suffocation among the citizens due to the intensity of gas spreading in the air, and they were dealt with on the ground by ambulance crews.
It is noteworthy that the march of Kafr Kaddoum entered its tenth year demanding the opening of the closed entrance, and starts on Friday and Saturday continuously and is brutally suppressed, and the occupation army used incendiary explosive devices that were placed between the fields to injure the participants as well as security surveillance cameras discovered by the popular guard committees, placed in brick stones.
