Students on their way to school suffered from suffocation after inhaling toxic gas fired by Israeli forces in the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, the Wafa news agency reports.

Local sources told Wafa that the Israeli forces stormed al-Khader, positioning themselves in the Tall area of ​​the Old City, and fired sound bombs and tear gas, causing several students to suffocate.

More recently, schools in al-Khader have experienced an escalation in Israeli attacks on students, either through the firing of sound bombs and tear gas or by pursuing and detaining several of them.
