Students Shot, Injured, Others Suffocate in Renewed Tulkarem Clashes

TULKARM, November 29, 2015 (WAFA) – At least five Palestinian students were injured by live fire, while dozens others suffocated due to teargas inhalation during renewed clashes with Israeli troops at the campus of Palestine Technical University (Kadoorie) in Tulkarem on Sunday, according to medical sources.

The Palestinian Red Crescent (PRC) said five students were injured by live ammunition and dozens others suffocated due to inhaling teargas, as Israeli forces raided the university’s campus. Other students were also injured by rubber-coated rounds, and were treated at the scene.

PRC reported that three students lost consciousness due to excessive tear gas inhalation, which necessitated their transfer to hospital for treatment.

Since the beginning of unrest in October 2015, the university has been a scene of renewing clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians students, which have resulted in numerous injury cases and affected daily classes.

At least 105 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the beginning of unrest in the West Bank in early October 2015, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Heath.
