Several Palestinians today suffocated by tear gas as Israeli forces violently suppressed the peaceful anti-settlement weekly march in the town of Beit Dejan to the east of Nablus, said local sources. Forces attacked the march with rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades, causing several people to suffocate from tear gas inhalation. They were all treated at the scene. Palestinians there have been protesting against the theft of Palestinian land for the benefit of settlement expansion.
