Thousands of tear gas suffocation injuries were recorded during confrontations that erupted at several points of contact throughout the governorate’s towns and camps, the most prominent of which were in the courtyards of the blessed Aqsa Mosque, the Bab al-Amoud area, the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, Qalandia camp, Abu Dis, Jabal al-Mukaber, al-Tur, al-Ram, Issawiya, and the neighborhoods of Silwan town.
