GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Several girl students suffered from their exposure to tear gas on Tuesday morning when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked their school in al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem.
According to local sources, Israeli soldiers stormed at-Tal and al-Barakah areas of the town and embarked on firing tear gas canisters and stun grenades at girl students and their school.
The Palestinian education directorate said that Israeli forces stormed the vicinity of the elementary girls schools of al-Khader, detained teacher Fatima Daadou, seized her cellphone, and brandished guns at principal Sanaa Zaboun.
While showering the school with tear gas, Israeli soldiers prevented the students from leaving their classrooms and the school.
Every once in a while, the IOF carries out attacks on the girls school of al-Khader town and its students.
In a related context, the Palestinian ministry of education said that 13,177 Palestinian students had been martyred and 21,991 others had been injured since the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank started on October 7, 2023.
