Israeli occupation forces injured five civilians with bullets and dozens suffocated, yesterday evening, Saturday, after confrontations that broke out in the village of Kafr Qaddoum, east of Qalqilya.

Local sources reported that the five citizens were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets, and dozens suffocated with poisonous tear gas, including children and women, during the Kafr Qaddoum confrontations, which followed a march that started after the afternoon prayer from the Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque, and headed towards the closed western entrance to the village.

The sources added that the occupation forces suppressed the march, and extensively fired rubber-coated metal bullets and poison gas canisters at the marchers.
