Several people were injured in the attack on demonstrators on Friday, which according to witnesses was the second time this week that the regime troops attacked Palestinian protesters.
   

The villagers say the march, the largest of its kind for years, was held in response to several settler attacks in Deir Jarir this week.
 

According to Deir Jarir residents, Israeli settlers torched around ten cars in the village, pelted village youth with stones and planted an Israeli flag on a derelict church.

"This was a peaceful area. We're gathered today to say we refuse to be attacked and driven off our own land. We want their army to pull the settlers out," said a resident.
 

Israeli troops have also attacked Palestinian demonstrators in Beit Ummar village, northwest of al-Khalil, who were protesting against the expansion of settler units on their land.
 

The occupying regime of Israel has been conducting internationally criticized settlements developments in the occupied West Bank, which the United Nations considers as illegal and the international community see them as an obstacle to peace.
