Six Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli occupation forces at Qalandia checkpoint, northern al Quds, the Palestinian Red Crescent said Wednesday.

One of the injured was hit by rubber-coated bullets while the five others suffered suffocation because of the tear gas canisters that were fired by Israeli troops.

Confrontations erupted on Wednesday between Palestinian youth and Israeli troops, during which occupation forces fired rubber-coated bullets and tear gas canisters at the Palestinian protesters.
