Dozens of Palestinians staged protest rallies across the occupied West Bank, denouncing the construction of illegal ‘Israeli' settlements and a separation wall.

Palestinians Protest against ‘Israeli’ Settlements, Separation Wall

On Friday, weekly demonstrations were held in the villages of Bil'in and Ni'lin near the central city of Ramallah, and in the village of Kafr Qaddum near the northern city of Nablus.

Some local officials also attended the Bil'in rally, which started after Friday prayers with protesters waving Palestinian flags and shouting anti-‘Israeli' slogans.

Zionist occupation forces clashed with the demonstrators and temporarily detained several children. A young Palestinian man was hospitalized after being wounded in the clashes.

In Ni'lin, dozens of the protesters suffered tear gas inhalation.

‘Israeli' regime forces also raided Kafr Qaddum with military vehicles and bulldozers to break up the demonstration. Heavy clashes were reported in the village, with young protesters throwing stones at ‘Israeli' vehicles and setting fire to rubber tires. No injuries or arrest have been reported yet.

The ‘Israeli' occupation apartheid regime began building the barrier of walls and fences inside the occupied West Bank in 2002. Tel Aviv said it wanted to prevent Palestinians from infiltrating into the illegal ‘Israeli' settlements, but Palestinians consider the move as yet another violation of their rights.

The Friday demonstrations come as the Zionist regime is under fire for its settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Since January 20, when US President Donald Trump, an ardent supporter of the Zionist regime, took office, Tel Aviv has launched a major land grab drive in defiance of global calls to stop its settlement activities on occupied Palestinian lands.

Over 230 settlements have been built since the 1967 ‘Israeli' occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East occupied al-Quds/Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want as the capital of their future independent state.
