Israeli forces fired teargas at Palestinian schoolchildren staging a sit-in in Umm al-Khair, West Bank, after settlers blocked access to their school. The children were returning to class for the first time in over 40 days due to the Israeli-US attack on Iran. Witnesses reported that the children were holding an open-air class when the teargas was deployed.
