Palestinian News Agency, Wafa, said that a number of settlers from Kiryat Arba, which is a settlement that was built on Palestinian lands east of Hebron, assaulted and insulted citizens in their own homes and after Palestinians confronted them, the Israeli Occupation forces raided the area firing sound and gas bombs at them which caused many to suffocate.
