Several Palestinian young men suffered from inhaling tear gas during clashes on Tuesday morning with the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in different areas of al-Khalil province.
Eyewitnesses told Quds Press that the IOF intensively fired stun grenades and tear gas canisters at school students in al-Arroub refugee camp in northern al-Khalil after they staged a march in memory of a slain classmate who was shot dead by Israeli soldiers last year.
They added that violent clashes broke out in different streets after the IOF attacked the march fired live ammunition and raided a number of homes in the camp.
Similar clashes between local youths and the IOF also took place near the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil City during which Israeli soldiers deliberately showered Palestinian homes with stun grenades and tear gas canisters.
Meanwhile the IOF stormed other areas of al-Khalil province including Ein Arab area where some young men were handed summonses for interrogation from the Shin Bet intelligence service.
Local medical sources said that 13 young men suffered from their exposure to tear gas and received on-site assistance from paramedics during the events in al-Khalil.
