Israeli forces attack Palestinian school students south of Bethlehem

BETHLEHEM: Israeli forces attacked on Wednesday Palestinian school students in the town of al-Khader south of Bethlehem, the northern occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Sources informed WAFA that Israeli forces raided the town, fired live rounds into the air, and targeted students with tear gas canisters and stun grenades as they left their schools. However, no injuries were reported.

The attack spread panic and fear among the students, with some being chased by the forces.

To be noted, these ongoing assaults have been a regular occurrence since the start of the current school year, involving harassment of students as they exit their schools. The school complex is situated in the Old City, close to the colonial road and the separation barrier.
