Zionist forces injure 3 Palestinians in West Bank

Three Palestinians have sustained injuries during heavy clashes between Israeli forces and protesters rallying in the occupied West Bank against the US’s recent recognition of al-Quds as the Zionist entity’s “capital.”

Palestinians started taking to the streets of the city of Bethlehem since the early hours of Saturday, the Palestinian Shehab News Agency reported.

The casualties were caused after the forces began targeting the crowd with rubber-coated bullets.

Ten more also suffered pulmonary malfunction from tear gas fired during the crackdown.

Mass protesters were expected to erupt in Bethlehem, Ramallah, al-Quds, al-Khalil, Nablus, and Tulkarm in the West Bank from 01:00 pm local time (11:00 GMT).

That declaration by the US President Donald Trump has sent shockwaves throughout the Muslim world, and even prompted warnings from Washington’s allies in the West that it would bring more chaos to the region.
