Eight Palestinians were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets, and dozens were suffocated by the Israeli occupation forces during the weekly protest in the town of Kafr Qaddoum, east of Qalqilya.

The occupation soldiers fired rubber-coated metal bullets, sound bombs, and tear gas at the protestors. Eight civilians were injured, one of whom was taken to the hospital for treatment.

The tear gas canisters caused dozens of suffocation, and the injuries were treated in the field. The occupation also targeted an ambulance with metal bullets, which shattered its window.

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