Citizens suffocated on Saturday when the Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, in the southern West Bank, where they arrested a young man after assaulting him.

According to local sources, the occupation forces stormed the center of Beit Ummar and Safa roundabout, which led to the outbreak of clashes, during which the occupation soldiers fired live and rubber bullets, sound bombs and toxic tear gas, as dozens of citizens suffered from suffocation due to inhaling the toxic gas, and were treated in the field.

The sources added that the occupation forces arrested the young man Ibrahim Ahmed Sami Sabarna (23 years old) from inside his uncle's shop where he works selling vegetables and fruits in the "Tarbiqa Triangle", noting that the occupation soldiers severely beat the young man Sabarna during his arrest, and took him to a camp inside the "Karmi Tzur" settlement built on citizens' lands south of Beit Ummar.

The town of Beit Ummar witnesses daily raids by the Israeli occupation, and the occupation soldiers are obstructing the movement of vehicles at Safa roundabout.
