NABLUS: A journalist was injured by a gas canister to the head, and several civilians suffered from gas inhalation this afternoon as Israeli forces suppressed an anti-settlement protest in the town of Beita, south of Nablus. WAFA correspondent reported that Israeli forces used live ammunition and tear gas canisters during their crackdown on the weekly march in Beita. This resulted in injuries to several civilians due to gas inhalation. Journalist Sadiq Ryan was reported injured after a gas canister struck him in the head, rebounding off a wall. The incident occurred following Israeli targeting of civilians and efforts to prevent them from approaching their land adjacent to Mount Sabih, where the colonial settlement outpost of Evaytar is located. The weekly protests in Beita come amidst escalating tensions following the Israeli government's decision to legalize the outpost by declaring it as "state land," along with four other settlement outposts in the West Bank.
