RNA - Bassam Zeidani said that the police force said they had orders to arrest Hamza Zeidani, but when they saw that he was a child they took away his uncle Mohammed Zeidani.

Commenting on the incident, the head of the Palestinian prisoner association Qaddoura Fares said that the Israeli security apparatuses were blinded with security concerns to the extent of ordering the arrest of a baby.

He warned against persistence in such practices that only expose the Israeli occupation authority’s savagery that does not differentiate between children and adults.

Additionally, dozens of Palestinian schoolchildren and tutors on Monday were treated for critical breathing disorders and gas injuries they sustained during an Israeli assault on two schools in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

A PIC correspondent quoted Palestinian instructor Mohamed Hamdan as reporting: “Dozens of our pupils were left with serious breathing difficulties as the Israeli occupation forces attacked the school with randomly-shot barrages of tear gas grenades, with no prior notification whatsoever.”

Local medics said at least nine pupils were rushed to Ramallah’s public hospital after they got suffocated and fainted due to tear gas inhalation.

By-standers at the scene denied the IOF’s alleged charges that the students of the Beitouna school, located a long way from the flashpoints with the Israeli occupation, might have been involved in hurling stones at the Israeli occupation troops.

The attack culminated in critical injuries among a number of female students at the Deir Ghassana School, many among whom were carried to a local clinic to receive urgent treatment.
