AL-BIREH/RAMALLAH, October 2, 2018 (WAFA) – Two university students Tuesday were shot and injured with rubber-coated steel bullets and dozens others suffocated during clashes that broke out with Israeli forces near Beit El checkpoint, north of Ramallah.

WAFA correspondent said Israeli soldiers fired rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades toward the students who rallied in protest of Israel’s Nation-state Law and its planned demolition of Khan al-Ahmar Bedouin community, east of Jerusalem.

Two students were struck with rubber-coated steel bullets in the foot area and dozens others suffocated due to tear gas inhalation. They were all treated at the scene.

The rally was called for by the student movement in Bir Zeit University.
