BETHLEHEM, Sunday, April 30, 2023 (WAFA) – A number of Palestinian students suffocated from teargas inhalation today 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 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 colonial settlers. On Friday, a 16-year-old Palestinian boy, Mustafa Sabbah, was shot dead by Israeli gunfire during confrontation with the Israeli occupation army in the village.
