Israeli soldiers shot, Friday, three Palestinians with the illegal expanding “Toto” bullets and caused dozens to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation, in the al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, in central West Bank.

The Palestinians held a nonviolent procession on lands Israel intends to illegally confiscate for its colonialist activities, and held noon prayers.

They then held a procession demanding an end to Israel’s violations against the Palestinians and their lands, before the soldiers attacked them with live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs and concussion grenades.

Medical sources said three Palestinians were shot with live fire; one in his chest and two in their legs, before they were moved to a local hospital.

Palestinian medics also provided the needed treatment to many residents who suffered the effects of teargas inhalation.
