Forty-seven Palestinians were injured today as the Israeli occupation forces suppressed an anti-settlement demonstration in the town of Beita, south of Nablus in the West Bank.

Wafa news agency reported that the occupation forces fired a barrage of bullets and poison gas canisters at the participants in the demonstration, which took place at the entrance to the town, in refusal to establish a settlement outpost on the top of Al-Sabeeh Mountain, as a result of which 5 Palestinians were shot and 42 others suffocated.

Four Palestinians, including two children, were martyred and hundreds were injured as a result of the occupation forces' attack on the daily demonstrations in the town since last month, in rejection of the occupation's settlement plans.
