August 21, 2022

Israeli occupation soldiers injured tens of Palestinians in Beit Dajan and Beita, near the northern occupied West Bank city of Nablus.

Local sources said the Palestinians marched on their lands chanting against the Israeli violations, including the illegal annexation of their lands, and carried Palestinian flags before the occupying soldiers attacked them with live fire, rubber-coated steel bullets, and gas bombs.

The sources added the occupation soldiers shot one Palestinian with a rubber-coated steel bullet, caused burns to another Palestinian after targeting him with a gas bomb, and caused 37 to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation in Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.

The sources also said that the Israeli occupation soldiers shot one Palestinian with a rubber-coated steel bullet in the abdomen and caused five to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation in Beita, south of Nablus.

The Palestinians have been holding ongoing processions on their lands in Sabih Mountain in Beita, and in Beit Dajan, since May of last year after a group of terrorist Israeli settlers installed an outpost atop the Mountain.
