OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A woman and her two girls evacuated their home in the Bir Ayyub neighborhood in East Jerusalem's Silwan district after Israeli occupation forces launched tear gas inside, locals said on Friday.

The Khatour family including two girls under the age of five were forced out of their home after sustaining breathing difficulties caused by a cloud of tear gas.

Every Friday, children in Silwan fall into a state of panic and suffer severe breathing problems due to tear gas and stun grenades fired by Israeli soldiers.
