A number of Palestinian citizens were injured Friday after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) quelled the anti-settlement weekly demonstration of Kafr Qaddum town in Qalqilya.

Popular resistance coordinator in Kafr Qaddum Murad Shtewi said that the IOF attacked the demonstrators with rubber-coated metal bullets and teargas canisters injuring a number of them, including a Jewish peace activist.

 

The IOF soldiers chased the Palestinian youths in the town's streets, climbed the Palestinian houses' rooftops and turned them into lookouts.

 

Kafr Qaddum demonstration was organized on Friday in commemoration of the 51st anniversary of the Palestinian Naksa (June's setback). The demonstrators chanted slogans calling for escalating popular resistance against the Israeli occupation.
