Israeli occupation forces suppressed yesterday the weekly anti-settlement protest in Kafr Qaddoum, resulting in a number of suffocation.

Local sources reported that the occupation soldiers attacked the protest, firing poison gas canisters and rubber-coated metal bullets, causing dozens of suffocation.

The protest began after Friday prayers from the Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque, with a wide participation of citizens, who chanted slogans condemning the continued attacks of the occupation and settlers against Palestinian people.

It should be noted that the Kafr Qaddoum protest was launched first in July 2011, calling for the opening of the village street, which was closed by the occupation army during the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2003.
