JORDAN VALLEY: A number of Palestinian citizens Tuesday suffered from suffocation due to tear gas fired by the Israeli occupation army at the Hamra military checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley. WAFA correspondent reported that the occupation fired tear gas bombs at citizens while they were waiting to cross the checkpoint, causing a number of them to suffocate. The Israeli occupation forces also obstructed citizens' passage through the checkpoint yesterday and fired tear gas bombs at them. The checkpoint has been seeing military reinforcements and repeated closures of citizens' movement for months. The Hamra military checkpoint is a main link between the cities of the West Bank and the Palestinian Jordan Valley, and is one of the main checkpoints between Tubas and the Jordan Valley. However, Israel controls the movement of citizens through it. Source: Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA
