On July 23, 320 Palestinians were wounded or suffered from tear gas inhalation inclasheswithIsraeliforces in Beita, medics said. A teenager shot byIsraeliforces later died of his wounds.
Beita residents have been demonstrating since May against a the wildcat Eviatar Jewish settlement set up nearby without official permission fromIsraeliauthorities.
The settlement was evacuated in early July butIsraeliarmy troops remain stationed there while authorities deliberate on its fate.
If the settlement is approved, its founders will be allowed to take up residence there more permanently.
Beita's residents have vowed to continue their campaign until the army also leaves the outpost.
Israel occupied theWestBankduring the 1967 Six-Day War and all Jewish settlements there are considered illegal by most of the international community.
Almost half a million people live inIsraelisettlements in theWestBank, alongside 2.8 million Palestinians.
