Israeli occupation forces today attacked an anti-settlement rally in Beit Dajan village, east of Nablus city, injuring dozens of participants, according to medical sources.

Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency and Ambulance Department at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), said that PRCS medics treated 10 participants for rubber-coated bullet injuries and dozens of others for tear gas suffocation after Israeli forces forcefully dispersed the rally.

The rally was called for to defend Palestinian-owned land threatened with confiscation, east of the village, to make room for Israeli colonial settlement construction.
