Palestinian Medical sources reported, Saturday, that ten residents were treated for the effects of teargas inhalation after Israeli soldiers attacked a nonviolent protest in Dir al-Ghsoun village, north of Tulkarem in the northern part of the West Bank.

Eyewitnesses reported that clashes took place when the army attacked the nonviolent protest against the separation and annexation wall, and fired rubber-coated metal bullets and gas bombs.

The protesters chanted slogans against the ongoing occupation, the annexation wall and settlements.

They also chanted for Palestinian unity and expressed anger towards the American veto against an UN resolution calling for the condemnation of Israel’s illegal settlement activities in the West Bank.
