Israeli occupation forces Friday cracked down a Palestinian protest against settlements in the town of Beit Dajan, east of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank.

Dozens of Palestinian citizens participated in a rally that began after the Friday prayers from in front of the Great Mosque in Beit Dajan towards the settlement outpost east of the town, raising flags and chanting slogans rejecting the establishment of the outpost on their lands.

The Israeli occupation soldiers fired rubber-coated metal bullets and stun grenades at the participants, which led to suffocation among them.
