Israeli soldiers shot Palestinian demonstrators Friday with rubber-coated steel bullets and tear-gas canisters in Kafr Qaddum, in the northern occupied West Bank District of Qalqilia.
The coordinator of the weekly marches Murad Ishteiwi, told the Ma’an News Agency that two Palestinians were injured with rubber coated steel bullets, and many more suffered the effects of tear-gas inhalation.
One protester was reportedly transferred to hospital for treatment, while the rest were treated on site.
Weekly protests in Kafr Qaddum began in 2011, to condemn Israel’s illegal land confiscation, and to object to the closure of the main road into the nearest economic center, Nablus.
The road has been closed off to Palestinians since 2003, when Israel expanded the illegal colonial settlement of Kedumim.
Ishteiwi stated that Israeli forces occupied two rooftops of homes of Palestinians, to view the protesters, in addition to taking pictures of many of the protesters.
