Israeli forces Thursday night attacked a protest against land pillage in Beita town, south of Nablus, causing injuries, according to medical sources.

Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency and Ambulance Department at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), said that Israeli forces opened fire towards the villagers who protested the pillage of their land to construct a new colonial settlement atop Jabal Sbeih (Sbeih Mountain) near the town.

He added that PRCS medics provided treatment to 10 protestors hit with rubber-coated steel bullets, dozens of tear gas suffocation cases in addition to four others who sustained injuries due to falling from high places after being chased by the soldiers.

Two of the casualties were rushed to a hospital for treatment.
