Bus carrying released Palestinian detainees hit with tear gas: Witness

Issam Rimawi, a Palestinian photojournalist who witnessed and recorded the incident, said Israeli forces were deployed outside Ofer Prison before the release of the Palestinian prisoners.

“They were firing tear gas just as the bus carrying the prisoners was leaving,” Rimawi told Al Jazeera in Ramallah.

“The prisoners were suffocating, and the driver had to stop the bus until the Red Cross crew came to help them,” he said.

“The medical team had to go into the bus, and we have documented this with our own camera.

During the "pause" in Gaza, the West Bank continues to be raided and Palestinian continue to be killed. Doctor Shamekh Abu Al Rob was shot de@d in a raid this morning. He is 1 of 230 killed in the West Bank in 7 weeks.

Yesterday, my community service club was doing outside litter pickup, when I overheard one of my students talking about Israel killing kids.

“Yeah, Israel is killing Palestinian kids. Israel is killing children like us.”

“What!?”

*pulls out phone to show a video of babies in distress after the Israeli air strikes.”

“Huhh! Omg look at her!”

I keep thinking what he meant by “us.” Children their age, racially minoritized people, or was it something else?
