The march was held under the slogan “Jerusalem is a key to peace and a key to war,” according to its organizers.

Dozens of protestors in Kafr Qaddum march suffered injuries when the IOF responded to their chants in support of the Aqsa Mosque by firing a hail of rubber bullets and tear gas grenades at them.

In Bethlehem, the IOF also attacked two marches in the villages of Masarah and Walaja causing several injuries among the protestors.

In a related incident, violent clashes took place in Aroub refugee camp and Beit Ummar town in Al-Khalil area.

Many Palestinians suffered injuries during the events, including a young man who sustained a rubber bullet injury in his head, according to Quds Press.

In Silwad town to the east of Ramallah city, 14 Palestinians, including a journalist suffered rubber bullet injuries and many others suffocated from tear gas during clashes with Israeli soldiers.

The confrontations happened after hundreds of angry young men from Silwad marched after the Friday prayers to the Palestinian lands which the Israeli regime intends to annex to Ofra settlement.

The Palestinian villagers in the area had planned to hold the Friday prayers on these lands, which are located between Silwad and Deir Jarir towns near Ofra settlement, but the Palestinian Authority (PA) prevented them.

At the behest of the Israeli army, the PA ministry of religious affairs in Ramallah warned the Mosque imams and the residents not to pray or rally in this area, but the villagers defied the decision and decided to march to their lands after attending the Friday prayers in mosques.
