On Friday, fierce clashes were reported between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters near the villages of Beita and Beit Dakhan, located south and east of the city of Nablus, respectively, and near the village of Kafr Qadum in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society announced in a statement that at least 128 Palestinians were injured, including 36 by rubber bullets fired by Israeli soldiers. The others suffered asphyxiation from inhaling tear gas.

Earlier in the day on Friday, four Palestinians, including three children, sustained injuries after an Israeli settler shot at them near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron).

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) has condemned the brutal killing of Palestinians by the Israeli army in the West Bank and called on Palestinians living in the area to start a new Intifada (uprising).

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Michelle Bachelet, presented the same Friday a report in which she denounced a significant increase in the use of live ammunition by Israeli forces and an intensification of violence by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.

"The human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory deteriorated further during the reporting period, between November 1, 2020 and October 31, 2021," the report indicated.
