Dozens of Palestinians were injured and suffocated with tear gas during confrontations with the Israeli occupation army, following the launch of settlement-condemning rallies in Qalqilya, occupied West Bank.

According to Qalqiliya District Media Spokesman Murad Shtiwe, the occupation army fired rubber-coated metal bullets, and sound and gas bombs heavily towards the marchers, injuring two of them with bullets and dozens with asphyxiation.

In a related context, a child was hit by a gas bomb and dozens of citizens suffocated during the Israeli occupying forces' suppression of the weekly anti-settlement march of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus.
