In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces fired tear gas at Palestinian schoolchildren who were staging a sit-in protest Monday after settlers blocked access to their school in the village of Umm al-Khair in the Masafer Yatta region. The students had been peacefully holding an open-air class when they were gassed. They’d been seeking to return to classrooms for the first time in over 40 days, after the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran forced schools across the West Bank to close.
