Israeli occupation soldiers injured some Palestinian schoolchildren in Teqou town, southeast of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

Local sources said Palestinians were protesting the escalating Israeli violations, including the death of 7-YEr-old Rian Suleiman, 7, on September 29, 2022, from a heart attack after Israeli occupation soldiers chased him, accusing him and his brother of throwing stones at them.

Palestinian activist Mustafa Al-Badan said the Israeli occupation forces shot one child with a rubber-coated steel bullet in the thigh before he was moved to a hospital.

Al-Badan added that the occupying soldiers also caused many schoolchildren to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation, cuts, and bruises.
