Excessive tear gas fired at children

This morning at Salaymeh checkpoint in Hebron, Israeli border police fired excessive amounts of tear gas at schoolchildren. ISM activists present counted at least 24 canisters fired. Several young Palestinian children threw stones towards the checkpoint, and one border police officer ran out of the checkpoint twice, so he could fire the tear gas closer to the school. ISM volunteers also observed how one border police officer aimed the tear gas canisters directly at one boy, making him jump to avoid them.
