In the West Bank, dozens of Palestinians performed Friday prayers in the Wadi Hummus neighborhood where 13 apartment buildings were demolished on 7/22. After the prayers, clashes erupted between protesters and Israeli soldiers, leading to tear-gas-related injuries. Elsewhere in the West Bank, 3 Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces using rubber-coated bullets to disperse the weekly anti-settlement protest in Kafr Qaddum; other protesters suffered from tear gas inhalation. In Gaza, 56 Palestinians were injured during the weekly Great March of Return protests. 38 of the 56 injured were shot by live ammunition. (WAFA, WAFA 7/26; HA, MDW, WAFA 7/27)
