Dozens of Palestinians suffocated this evening after inhaling tear gas fired at them by Israeli forces during clashes that broke out in the village of Rummanah, west of Jenin, in the northern occupied West Bank, according to security sources.

Sources told WAFA clashes broke out following a military incursion into the said village, during which forces fired stun grenades and tear gas canisters at the village residents, causing dozens to suffocate.

Forces also stormed the village of al-Jalama to the northeast of Jenin, raiding and interrogating the dwellers of several homes, following clashes with Israeli soldiers manning a nearby military checkpoint.

Forces also deployed their military vehicles at the entrance to Jenin’s town of Yabad and the village of Tura in a provocative manner.
