Palestinians injured in clashes with Zionist forces east of Qalqilya

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Jan. 30 (YPA) – A number of Palestinians were injured and suffocated on Saturday evening, during clashes with Zionist enemy forces in the village of Kafr Kaddoum, east of Qalqilya, following the suppression of the weekly anti-settlement march.

According to Palestinian sources, the clashes broke out after the weekly march from the Omar bin Al-Khattab mosque in the center of the village, towards the closed western entrance, during which enemy forces fired a barrage of rubber-coated metal bullets and poison gas bombs.

Two citizens were hit by rubber-coated metal bullets and dozens suffocated by inhalation of poison gas.

On Friday and Saturday of each week, the village of Kafr Kaddoum witnessed marches calling for the opening of the village street, which was closed by the occupying forces during the 2003 Al-Aqsa intifada.
