Security forces on Friday arrested six Palestinians who threw stones during a protest in the village of Nabi Saleh, which is next to Ramallah in the West Bank.
The Palestinians reported that the six protesters, two of whom are Israeli citizens, were wounded after security forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas at them.
Nabi Saleh residents staged the protest against what they claim is an attempt by Jews from the settlement of Halamish to forcefully take over some of their land and block their access to it.
Friday's rally followed a number of other demonstrations held at the village during the month of January.
Some 400 Palestinians and left-wing activists, both foreign and Israeli, took part in the demonstration.
According to them, IDF forces at the scene fired live ammunition, as well as rubber bullets and tear gas. "The demonstration was brutally crushed by the army," one protestor said.
Also on Friday, about 170 Palestinians and leftists protested near the West Bank village of Bilin against the construction of the security fence in the area. Some of them threw stones at the security forces, who responded with crowd dispersal means. No injuries or damage were reported.
About 70 people protested in the village of Naalin against the West Bank security barrier, but there were no reports of injury in that rally either.
