Students Suffocated as Israeli Soldiers Attack School near Bethlehem

A number of Palestinian students suffocated from teargas inhalation on Sunday when Israeli occupation soldiers attacked a school with teargas in the village of Tuqu, to the southeast of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Bassam Jabr, the Director of Education in Bethlehem, told (WAFA) news agency that an Israeli army force imposed a siege around the Tuqu Boys School before they showered the school with teargas canisters and stun grenades, causing several students to suffocate from gas inhalation.

The village has been a frequent target of almost daily attacks by the Israeli occupation army and settlers.

On the other hand, the Israeli occupation forces arrested three Palestinians in Bethlehem, and a freed prisoner in Kafr al-Dik village, west of Salfit. (QNA)
