The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that 133 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israelis in the villages of Beita and Beit Dajan near Nablus (Shechem) on Friday.
Clashes between Israeli security forces and settlers and Palestinians protesting the occupation on the other occur almost every week in the West Bank.
Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem, the city the Palestinian National Authority considers its capital, is a major issue in Israel's relations with the international community.
