Bethlehem - Ma'an - A number of citizens suffered from suffocation on Saturday evening during clashes with Israeli occupation forces in the village of Husan, west of Bethlehem. A local source reported that the clashes were concentrated in the "Al-Matina" area at the eastern entrance to the village, during which the occupation soldiers fired live bullets, sound bombs and toxic tear gas, which led to a number of citizens suffering from suffocation due to inhaling the toxic gas, and they were treated in the field.
