A number of Palestinians were injured, Thursday evening, during clashes with the Israeli occupation forces in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, according to Safa correspondent.

The correspondent stated that violent confrontations erupted after the occupation forces suppressed a popular protest demanding the handover of the body of the martyr Muhammad Farid Hassan, who has been detained for five days.

Dozens participated in the protest that started from the center of the town and headed to the eastern entrance.

Meanwhile, the occupation forces fired bullets and tear gas canisters at the participants, resulting in having injuries among them.

It should be noted that the martyr Hassan was killed while responding to an attack by settlers on the outskirts of Qusra last Saturday. The occupation refuses to hand over his body, claiming that he threw an explosive device at the settlers before his death.
