Injuries during the suppression of the settlement march in Beit Dajan

Dozens of citizens were injured today, Friday, during the occupation forces´ suppression of the weekly rally rejecting settlements in the village of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.

The march began from the center of the town in the afternoon towards the settlement outpost established on the lands of the eastern region of the town.

The Israeli occupation forces fired tear gas canisters and rubber-coated metal bullets at it, wounding ten civilians with metal bullets. Two of them were taken to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus for treatment. Dozens also suffocated with gas.

The occupation forces stormed the town in the morning and closed the Maraka road, east of the town, with rocks and dirt, to prevent the march from reaching the settlement outpost.
