Israeli forces fired tear gas into a residential home during a military operation in Burqa, a village east of Ramallah, injuring approximately 20 Palestinians, Shehab Wire reported. Among those affected were an infant and an elderly woman who suffered suffocation symptoms from the gas exposure.
Local sources said the incident took place when occupation forces entered the home as part of the raid. The mass inhalation of tear gas left multiple civilians requiring treatment for breathing difficulties and respiratory distress.
