42 Palestinians Injured in Clashes with Israeli Forces in West Bank

42 Palestinians were injured by rubber bullets and suffocated with tear gas, during confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces in the eastern area of Nablus, in the northern West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent stated, in a press statement, that four Palestinians were wounded by rubber bullets, while 36 others were injured by tear gas suffocation, and another by falling, during the violent confrontations.

The statement added that the occupation forces attacked the Red Crescent ambulance crew directly with gas bombs during the transfer of a maternity case, which led to the crew suffocating, noting that the patient was transferred to Rafidia Hospital.

The clashes took place while the occupation forces raided the eastern area in the city of Nablus, to escort the  Jewish settler gangs of "Hilltop Youth" to the Joseph's Tomb area.
