Clashes in West Bank during anti-Israeli settlement protests
The Palestinian Authority reported several incidents throughout the territory. It follows other violent clashes in recent weeks between the Israeli military and Palestinians.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) reported several clashes on Friday at anti-settlement protests throughout the West Bank.
Two Palestinians were injured by Israeli security forces gunfire in Beit Dajan east of Nablus. The forces responded to a protest against Israeli settlements, the PA-run WAFA News Agency reported.
The Israeli military also dispersed a protest against settlement construction in Dayr Jarir northeast of the Palestinian capital, Ramallah. Palestinians and Israeli settlers also clashed at a similar protest in Biddya near the Israeli border, according to WAFA.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not report any of the incidents. WAFA usually portrays Israelis as the aggressors in such instances, while the IDF reports them as Israelis responding to attacks.
