Ramallah: Israeli colonists sprayed pepper gas at passersby near the Mekhmas junction, southeast of Ramallah, on Tuesday. Local sources told WAFA that the attack caused several Palestinians to suffer from suffocation before locals intervened and forced the colonists away from the area.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the assault comes amid a continued wave of colonist attacks against Palestinians across the West Bank. These attacks have included shooting at civilians and their homes and setting property on fire.
The latest deadly incident occurred in the village of Abu Falah, east of Ramallah, where three Palestinians were killed by live gunfire during an attack carried out by colonists under the protection of Israeli forces.
