In the West Bank, the occupation forces suppressed Palestinian demonstrations against settlements in the towns of Beita and Beit Dajan in Nablus.
The participants marched, rejecting the settlement outpost established on the town's lands while denouncing the continued closure of its main entrance. The occupation soldiers responded with stun grenades and tear gas which led to cases of suffocation among protestors. In the town of Beita, south of Nablus, the residents organized a march towards Jabal Sbeih Mountain to reject the settlement outpost.
