Good afternoon,

Mustafa here from MEE's London office. Here are the latest updates on the ongoing protests taking place across the West Bank:

  • Palestine's Red Crescent reported that 46 people have been injured in Bethlehem; 12 wounded from rubber-coated steel bullets, 33 injured from tear-gas inhalation, and one protestor was beaten. 
  • Confrontations between Palestinian protestors and Israeli soldiers happened in Beit Furik, Beita and Salfit towns around the city of Nablus; and in Al-Ram, a suburb north of the city of Jerusalem.
  • In Ramallah, a protest in Deir Abu Mash'al was blocked by the Israeli army using a metal gate at the village's entrance. In Ni'lin, the Israeli settlement of Beit El and Al-Bireh, there were confrontations between Palestinians and the Israeli army.
  • One Palestinian was injured by a live bullet in Hebron in a confrontation with Israeli soldiers in Bab al-Zawya, near the old city.
