BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- More than 2,000 Palestinians in southern Nablus took part in a march to mark the 39th anniversary of Land Day on Monday, commemorating Palestinian protests against Israeli land seizures that were violently suppressed on Mar. 30, 1976.
More than 15 Palestinians suffered tear-gas inhalation when Israeli forces attempted to suppress the march, which took place in the village of Huwwara.
The injured included Fatah member of the Palestinian Legislative Council Walid Assaf.
Many were treated on the spot while others were taken to hospitals for treatment.
