Al-Qassam Website - Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked on Saturday Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank city of Al-Khalil, causing many to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation and leading to protests in response.

Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation forces blocked the entrance to Beit Ummar town with an iron gate and harassed Palestinian mourners at a funeral, which led to the outbreak of confrontations during which the IOF fired stun grenades and tear gas canisters towards the cemetery, suffocating several Palestinians.

The Israeli occupation forces and colonial settlers routinely attack Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, thus violating international norms and conventions.
