A number of students suffered from suffocation after the Israeli occupation forces stormed West Bank’s town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, Wafa reports.

Local sources said to Wafa that the occupation forces stormed Al-Khader and were stationed in the areas of Al-Tall and Al-Baraka in the old town, and fired tear gas and sound bombs at the students, which led to a number of them suffering from suffocation, amid clashes.

Wafa correspondent reported that the occupation forces have been continuing their daily attacks on Al-Khader students for some time, by firing tear gas and sound bombs, detaining a number of them and subjecting them to investigation, and pursuing others in the neighborhoods and streets, with the aim of disrupting the educational process.
