HEBRON, Israeli forces today attacked Palestinian students as they were leaving their schools in the occupied area of the southern West Bank city of Hebron and detained one while several others suffocated from tear gas inhalation fired by the soldiers toward them, according to Palestinian security and local sources.

They told WAFA that the Israeli forces attempted to enter one of the schools but when the school principal prevented them from entering it, they fired tear gas canisters inside the school causing several suffocation cases among the students and staff.

The soldiers also detained a 17-year-old student from another school, said the sources.

Meanwhile, students at the Kadoorie college Arroub campus, near Hebron, clashed with Israeli forces who fired sound and tear gas bombs at them causing suffocation.
