A Palestinian child was injured in the hand by a tear gas bomb while dozens suffered breathing problems in Beit Dajan, east of Nablus, according to Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency and Ambulance Department at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

Activists Makhamrah underlined that the march called for reopening al-Karmil road that links the Masafer communities with Yatta town.
