The PRCS revealed that 217 protesters had been injured, together with 35 shot by rubber-coated steel bullets and 182 subjected to suffocation after inhaling tear gasoline.
Eyewitnesses advised reporters that fierce clashes broke out on Friday afternoon between dozens of protesters and Israeli troopers within the villages of Beita and Beit Dajan, close to the northern West Financial institution metropolis of Nablus.

The protesters on Friday waved Palestinian flags, chanted slogans towards the Israeli occupation and threw stones on the Israeli troopers who fired rubber bullets and tear gasoline canisters to disperse them.
