Israeli forces fire teargas at schoolchildren holding West Bank sit-in
Israeli forces fired teargas at Palestinian schoolchildren staging a sit-in near Umm al-Khair village in the occupied West Bank. The incident occurred on the first day of classes after a 40-day suspension due to the Israeli-US attack on Iran on 28 February. The children were protesting a barbed wire fence erected by Israeli settlers that blocked access to their school. The Israeli military stated they dispersed an "unusual gathering," but did not confirm firing teargas at the children. The school's director stated the sit-in would continue until a solution was found to allow students access to their school.
