The Palestine Red Crescent reported that 48 Palestinians were injured during confrontations with Israeli occupation forces in the villages of Beit Dajan, Madama, and Osrin in the Nablus district.

Local sources confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces fired bullets, stun grenades, and tear gas at the weekly march held in Beit Dajan against illegal settlement operations east of Nablus.

On his part, Palestinian activist Mourad Shteiwi said occupation soldiers fired tear gas bombs massively at participants during a weekly march in Qalqilya, which resulted in dozens of severe suffocation cases, including children, who were treated on spot.

It is noteworthy that on Friday, the head of the Israeli occupation Settlement Council in the northern occupied West Bank, Yossi Dagan, called on the occupation forces to launch a military offensive against Palestinians in Nablus.
