Dozens of Palestinian citizens and foreign activists on Friday choked on tear gas fired by Israeli occupation forces at the protesters taking part in the weekly demonstration in Kafr Qaddum village in the West Bank district of Qalqilya.

Local sources said that the Israeli forces heavily fired tear gas canisters and rubber-coated metal bullets at the demonstrators wounding dozens of them.

The Palestinian families of Kafr Qaddum have been protesting for years on a weekly basis against the continuing settlement expansion on their lands.
