Palestinians injured as clashes flare up in Qalqilya

Wednesday 12-September-2018

A house garden was set alight while dozens of Palestinian citizens choked on teargas during clashes with the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at night on Wednesday in Qalqilya.

Local sources told the PIC reporter that the IOF violently stormed the city and heavily fired live ammunition and teargas canisters at Palestinian citizens’ houses.

The sources said that Israeli teargas canisters burned and damaged a house garden owned by a Palestinian citizen in the central area of the city before civil defense crews rushed to the area and controlled the fire.

Dozens of Palestinian citizens including children and women suffered breathing difficulties as a result of inhaling teargas. As clashes escalated the IOF closed all entrances to Qalqilya.
