Several Palestinian schoolchildren sustained breathing disorders on Thursday due to heavy inhalation of teargas randomly discharged by Israeli soldiers near the Khader town schools south of Bethlehem.
Eye-witnesses said clashes burst out in al-Berka and al-Tel areas in the Old City between schoolchildren and heavily-armed Israeli patrols.
The occupation forces showered the area with spates of teargas canisters and acoustic grenades resulting in several suffocation cases among Palestinian pupils.
