Israeli forces fire live rounds and teargas as they storm Birzeit University

Israeli forces stormed Birzeit University in the occupied West Bank, firing live ammunition and teargas at students and teachers. The raid, which reportedly followed a student event for Palestinian prisoners, left over forty people injured. Thousands of students were trapped inside the campus as Israeli forces broke down the main gate and deployed throughout the grounds. The university's president condemned the incursion as one of many repeated violations and called for international protection of academic freedom.
