2 children among several Palestinians injured by Israeli attacks in West Bank

Several Palestinians, including two young brothers, were injured Thursday in Israeli attacks in the central and northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian news agency, Wafa, said an Israeli soldier threw a tear gas canister into a public transport vehicle at the entrance to Turmus Ayya in northeastern Ramallah, causing several passengers to suffer suffocation.

A video circulating on social media showed smoke billowing from inside the vehicle after the attack.

In the northern West Bank, brothers Fares and Omar Mohammed Daraghmeh sustained bruises after Israeli forces physically assaulted them in Khirbet Yerza in eastern Tubas.

Israeli forces raided the tents of Palestinian residents in the area, assaulted the two children, detained all family members and searched their tents, according to the official Palestine TV.

Khirbet Yerza is one of the Palestinian communities facing continuous Israeli restrictions as part of efforts to displace residents from their land.
