JENIN, (PIC)-- Dozens were wounded in peaceful marches organized on Friday afternoon in the West Bank villages of Kafr Qaddum and Masarah.
A massive crowd of Palestinian villagers and foreign activists marched after the Friday prayers towards the main entrance of Kafr Qaddum village to protest as usual its closure for more than 10 years.
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stationed at the entrance quelled the march upon its arrival and fired a barrage of rubber bullets and tear gas grenades causing several injuries among the protestors.
In Masarah village near Bethlehem city, a Palestinian activist named Iyad Zawahra was severely wounded when Israeli soldiers physically assaulted him during the anti-wall march yesterday.
Others also suffered injuries in clashes with the IOF upon their arrival near the segregation wall in the village.
