Four Palestinians were wounded after Israeli soldiers fired rubber bullets and tear gas at the weekly protest in Kufur Qaddoum, near the northern West Bank city of Qalqilia, Palestinian medical sources said on Friday.

The protesters demanded that the Israeli forces reopen the main village road that has been blocked for 14 years in order to allow easy access of Jewish settlers to an illegal settlement.

Israeli soldiers fired rubber-coated metal bullets, sponge-tipped bullets to disperse protesters, coordinator of the Popular Committee in Kufur Qaddoum Morad Shteiwy said.
