Israeli forces have stormed the campus of Birzeit University in the occupied West Bank, wounding at least three Palestinian students with live ammunition and causing dozens more to suffer from tear gas inhalation, Palestinian officials said. Nirdin Al Mimi, Birzeit University’s public relations officer, told WAFA that two additional students were injured after falling while trying to flee the scene, while several others suffered from suffocation caused by tear gas. Al Mimi said that around 8,000 students were present on campus at the time of the incursion, adding that Israeli soldiers smashed and damaged the university’s main gate before storming multiple buildings and faculties.
