Palestinian Red Crescent says most injuries sustained in Beita village in the north of the occupied West Bank.
About 270 Palestinian protesters have been injured, mostly by tear gas, in confrontations with Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
Most injuries were sustained in Beita village near Nablus in the north of the occupied West Bank where residents have held regular demonstrations since May, when Israeli settlers started to set up caravans and pave roads on a disputed hilltop.

Two Palestinians have been shot and fatally wounded by Israeli army gunfire in Beita over the past week.
Hundreds of Palestinians had gathered earlier in the month in Beita, a hot spot in recent months, to protest the wildcat settlement of Evyatar, located nearby.
The protests resulted in 320 Palestinians being wounded in confrontations with Israeli forces, according to the Red Crescent.
All Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank are regarded as illegal by most of the international community.
