Israeli occupation forces fired on Wednesday a number of toxic tear gas canisters toward students of the Jabal Al-Zaytoon neighborhood school near the Old City of Jerusalem.
The head of the Jerusalem Teachers' Association, Issa Salman, told Petra's reporter in Ramallah that dozens of students had suffocated as a result of inhaling the toxic gases.
Salman denounced the attack against the Jerusalemite students, saying that it was a targeted attack on the Palestinian educational process in occupied Jerusalem.
