HEBRON, October 6, 2015 (WAFA) – at least ten Palestinians were shot and injured  and dozens others suffocated during clashes that erupted overnight with Israeli forces across the Hebron area. Several others suffocated during renewed clashes on Tuesday, said security sources.

Clashes erupted between Israeli forces and Palestinians at the entrance of Bani Na‘im town, east of the city.

Israeli forces fired stun grenades and tear gas canisters at Palestinian locals and their homes, causing a number of locals to suffocate.

Furthermore, 10 Palestinians were shot and injured with rubber-coated steel bullets during clashes with Israeli forces at Bab al-Zawiya in central Hebron.

Among the injuries were four Palestinians who were hit with rubber-coated steel bullets in the head and four others who were hit in the leg. Also among the injuries was a reporter and a woman. All the injuries were evacuated to a Hebron hospital for treatment.

During the clashes, two Palestinian young men were reportedly detained after being shot and injured.

Palestinian medics could not verify the two young men’s injuries as they could not reach them.

Meanwhile, clashes renewed on Tuesday afternoon between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians at Bab al-Zawiya; forces fired tear gas canisters at locals, causing many suffocation cases among them.

Furthermore, several other Palestinians suffocated and were injured with rubber bullets during clashes in al-Fawwar refugee camp, south of the city.

This came as Israeli forces sealed all entrances leading to the city and set up checkpoints at the entrances of several Hebron villages and towns.

Forces also reportedly raided and wreaked havoc into a house belonging to Jamal ‘Abdul-Salam during a raid into the Hebron town of Beit Ula.

Similar clashes broke out between Israeli forces and Palestinians in the vicinity of Abu al-Reish checkpoint and Tareq junction, causing several to suffer from tear gas inhalation.
