A Palestinian was killed and many others wounded by Israeli gunfire today, as the Israeli occupation forces attacked hundreds of Palestinians demonstrating against Israel’s construction of an illegal settlement outpost near the village of Beita in the occupied West Bank, WAFA reported.
The Ministry of Health said Emad Ali Dwaikat, 37, a father of five children, was shot dead, while at least 20 others, including a cameraman, sustained injuries by live gunshots during the clashes. Many other protesters sustained suffocation from tear gas inhalation.

For over four months, the village of Beita has been witnessing almost daily protests against Israel’s construction of an illegal settlement outpost near the village, called Evaytar.
Although the Israeli authorities evacuated the Jewish settlers who resided in the outpost for nearly two months, Israel has kept the site under its control and does not allow Palestinians to access their lands there.
