Israeli soldiers intervened and used tear gas and rubber-coated bullets against Palestinians.
Some victims faced suffocation due to the tear gas.
Soldiers also assaulted and arrested a 19-year-old Palestinian, according to the Palestinian official news agency, WAFA.
In another incident, a group of Jewish settlers gathered at a checkpoint to the entrance to Ramallah and threw stones at Palestinian-owned vehicles, causing damage.
