Citizens suffocated on Saturday evening, during the Israeli occupation forces' storming of the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem.

According to local sources, the occupation forces stormed Al-Khader and took up positions in the “Al-Balou” area, and set up a military checkpoint, where they stopped vehicles, searched them, and checked the identities of the passengers. The occupation soldiers also fired sound bombs and toxic gas at a number of shops, which led to a number of citizens suffering from suffocation, and they were treated in the field.
