The Israeli army had said before the event that it would provide protection to the settlers, having initially warned settlers not to proceed for security reasons.
Israeli forces fired rubber-coated bullets and tear gas at Palestinians protesting against the event at Burqa, leading to the injuries, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent. All entrances to Burqa were also shut by the army. They passed several Palestinian villages, including Burqa, before marching from a location near Homesh, which was built upon land that is part of Burqa. Settlers departed on Tuesday morning from the settlement of Shavei Shomron, northwest of Nablus, on buses.
Parts of the Nablus-Jenin highway were closed to Palestinian traffic as a result of the march. Nablus, Occupied West Bank – Israeli forces injured at least 40 Palestinian protesters after thousands of Israeli Jewish settlers marched to the evacuated settlement outpost of Homesh, near Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
