Hebron:Israeli forces fired tear gas canisters at Al-Ahli Hospital in Hebron, leading to panic and suffocation among patients as gas seeped into the wards and rooms. This incident occurred amidst ongoing military operations and heightened restrictions in the city for the fifth day.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA – English, the Israeli forces intensified their actions by firing tear gas in the vicinity of the hospital, searching vehicles, and checking identification documents of residents nearby. They also confiscated vehicles with yellow license plates from the hospital premises.
In addition to the hospital incident, Israeli forces fired tear gas canisters around Abu al-Dab'at Mosque.
