Dozens of Palestinian students and staff on Monday suffered breathing difficulties as a result of inhaling tear gas fired by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) towards al-Nahda school in the southern area of al-Khalil.
Local sources said that the IOF heavily fired poisonous gas bombs at the school causing dozens of suffocation cases among the students who were treated on the field.
Two of the school staff were transferred to a local hospital for treatment the sources added.
There are 11 Palestinian schools in the southern area of al-Khalil and they are constantly attacked by Israeli settlers and IOF soldiers.
