Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli settler attacked two Palestinian children today by spraying them with pepper gas in occupied Jerusalem, local sources reported.

The settler reportedly assaulted and pepper-sprayed the two children sitting inside their father’s vehicle.

Yesterday, a 15-year-old boy was shot dead while dozens have been wounded with ammunition and poisonous tear gas during the Israeli repression of protests in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

Local sources said Israeli forces used live and rubber-coated metal bullets, in addition, to tear gas bombs against the locals, who were protesting against a new settlement outpost in their village.

In occupied Jerusalem, local sources said Israeli forces used pepper gas against a woman and arrested two young men.
