Among the injured, 10 were shot by live ammunition, 22 by rubber bullets, and dozens suffered from inhaling tear gas, said the organisation.
Fierce clashes broke out on Friday, mainly near the northern West Bank cities of Nablus and Qalqilya, and dozens of anti-settlement demonstrators burned tires and threw stones at the Israeli soldiers.
The Palestinians organise rallies and protests on Fridays against the Israeli government’s policies of expanding settlements and confiscation of lands, and the demonstrations usually turn into clashes.
