Palestinian workers, students suffocate with tear gas fired by Israeli forces in Tulkarm
Tulkarm (QNN)- Dozens of Palestinian workers and male students suffocated with tear gas canisters fired towards them by Israeli occupation forces in Far’un town in Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank earlier on Thursday.
Local sources said earlier today, the Israeli forces near the apartheid wall fired tear gas canisters towards Palestinian workers resulting in suffocating dozens of workers, citizens and students, who were in their nearby school.
The students had to vacate the school due to the tear gas fired by the forces in the area.
Due to the lack of job opportunities in the West Bank, some Palestinians are forced to look for employment in Israeli-occupied Palestine in order to make a living.
However, entrance into the Israeli-occupied Palestine requires that Palestinians from the West Bank apply for entry permits, which are virtually impossible to obtain.
As a result, Palestinian workers from the West Bank regularly attempt to cross the apartheid Wall without a permit, putting them at risk of being arrested or attacked by Israeli occupation forces.
Since 2002, ‘Israel’ has been constructing a wall that stretches for more than 700 kilometres, annexing Palestinian land inside the occupied West Bank. This wall is known as separation wall or apartheid wall.
