Scores of Palestinians on Friday suffered temporary asphyxiation and rubber bullet injuries after Israeli troops dispersed anti-settlement protests in several parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces used rubber bullets and teargas to disperse Palestinians who had gathered in the West Bank town of Bilin to mark ten years since they began holding weekly rallies against ongoing Israeli settlement construction.
"Today we honor the tenth anniversary of our weekly march. We will not let up on our struggle to liberate our land," Abdullah Abu Rahma, coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall in Bilin, told The Anadolu Agency.
Since 2005, Biliin residents have staged weekly rallies each Friday to protest ongoing settlement building by Israel and Israel's separation wall, which snakes through the occupied West Bank isolating several Palestinian communities.
Similar rallies were also seen Friday in the West Bank towns of Nablus and Al-Masara.
The rallies are typically dispersed by force by the Israeli army.
According to the Palestinian government in Ramallah, the separation barrier effectively cuts some 50,000 Palestinian residents of occupied East Jerusalem off from the city center.
