Israeli soldiers injured, Monday, nine Palestinians, and abducted three others, after the army attacked dozens of protesters near Qalandia north of occupied Jerusalem, who marched against the Israeli escalation in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and injured nine of them, including one with live fire, in addition to abducting three others.

Eyewitnesses said the soldiers fired many live rounds, in addition to rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades.

The Palestinians were marching from the al-‘Amari refugee camp and headed towards the Qalandia terminal while chanting against the Israeli escalation before the soldiers started firing at them.
