Israeli forces closed roads and Palestinians stores to allow the settlers' march to pass in the West Bank village of Hawara, south of Nablus.

Six others suffocated from tear gas inhalation. The confrontations broke out when a group of settlers, under the protection of heavily-armed soldiers, stormed the town and hoisted Israeli flags in the main street.
