Dozens of Palestinians were hurt on Friday in clashes with Israeli troops in Several West Bank villages of Beita, medics said, during protests against an illegal Israeli settlement outpost. Ahmed Jibril, director of the emergency in the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, told before media that injured have been sent to hospitals, where medical teams treated over 90 protesters who suffered suffocation after inhaling tear gas.

Eyewitnesses said that that Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas canisters at the protesters, who threw stones at the soldiers, waved Palestinian flags and chanted anti-Israel slogans. They said clashes on Friday broke out near the village of Beita, south of the West Bank city of Nablus, for the 107 consecutive days against the establishment of a settler outpost and seizing part of the village's land. Meanwhile, dozens of Palestinians, including children, suffered suffocation from tear gas during clashes with the Israeli army in the village of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya. Every Friday, the Palestinians demonstrate in different areas in the West Bank against the Israeli settlement building and expansion and usually clash with Israeli soldiers.

A similar incident last month had taken place, where the Palestinian Red Crescent said 146 Palestinians were hurt during the clashes, including nine by live fire, 34 by rubber-coated bullets and 87 by tear gas.
