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.
