Dozens of Palestinian citizens and students, Sunday morning, suffered suffocation due to inhaling toxic tear gas fired by the Israeli forces in Deir Nizam village, northwest of the West Bank city of Ramallah.

"The village's school was evacuated from the students for their safety," the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said in a statement, adding the occupation troops continue to close the northern entrances of Deir Nizam with mounds of earth and set up a permanent barrier at its eastern entrance.
