At least two Palestinians were injured by Israeli occupation forces today during confrontations with the Israeli occupation army in the village of Kafr Qaddum, in the northern West Bank province of Qalqilia.
Witnesses told WAFA that Israeli soldiers attacked the protesters by rubber-coated rounds and teargas, injuring two of them and causing many cases of suffocation from gas inhalation.
All of the injured were treated at the scene of the clashes.
For years, villagers from Kafr Qaddum and neighboring villages have been protesting on a weekly basis against illegal Israeli settlements, and to call on Israeli authorities to reopen the village’s main road, which has been sealed off by the occupation authorities since 2002.
