Ramallah: Three Palestinians were injured with live bullets today when Israeli occupation forces attacked dozens of Palestinian protesters demonstrating in the village of Ni'lin, to the west of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, against an Israeli plan to confiscate large swathes of land in the village.
According to WAFA news agency, Soldiers attacked the protesters and opened gunfire at some of them, injuring three Palestinians. They were rushed to hospital for medical treatment.
The Israeli soldiers also fired teargas at the protesters causing many cases of suffocation from gas inhalation.
Tensions have run high in the village over the past few weeks as a result of attempts by illegal Israeli settlers to take over large tracts of Palestinian-owned land in the Jabal al-Alem mount, which is adjacent to the village. (QNA)
