At least 16 Palestinians were injured after Israeli occupation forces used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse a protest against Israeli plans to build a new illegal settlement outpost in the area. The protesters could be seen building a tire wall, which was then set alight, before Israeli forces unlawfully and brutally dispersed the protest, in the village of Deir Jarir, northeast of Ramallah, on Friday. An injured boy being treated could also be seen. The protest also coincided for the 56th anniversary of the launch of the contemporary Palestinian Revolution and Fatah Movement. The area has been a site of recurrent attacks by Israeli occupation forces over the past few months. Palestinians have been taking part in weekly protests and non-violent events to protest against Israeli plans to create more settlements in the disputed area.
