Israeli forces on Monday attacked Palestinian students as they were leaving their schools in the West Bank city of Hebron (Al-Khalil), the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

Local sources told WAFA that the Israeli forces attempted to storm into one of the schools. When the school principal prevented them from entering, they fired tear gas canisters causing several suffocation cases among the students and staff.
