A number of citizens was asphyxiated during confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces in the northern occupied West Bank city of Jenin.

Witnesses said that the occupation forces fired metal bullets, sound canisters and tear gas at the young men, causing a number of them to be asphyxiated. The occupation forces also erected a barrier at the entrance of Aja town and began to arrest and search the vehicles and to check the identities of their passengers, thereby impeding the movement of citizens.
