Scores of Palestinians suffocate from tear gas south of Hebron

Scores of Palestinians Friday evening suffocated from Israeli army tear gas in at-Tabaqa village, south of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, according to WAFA correspondent. He said that the occupation forces stormed the southern West Bank village, where soldiers occupied the rooftops of houses, trigging confrontations. The gun-toting soldiers fired volleys of tear gas canisters and concussion grenades, causing dozens to suffocate from tear gas. Meanwhile, the occupation forces sealed off the road in front of the Mosque of Dura, south of Hebron, at a time when the soldiers prevented Palestinians from crossing on foot the iron gate installed at the entrance of the Fawwar refugee camp, which is already blocked for traffic.
