Children of Hebron: 'Everyone is afraid' Clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians in Hebron have been especially traumatic for children, experts say.

Hebron, occupied West Bank - At the start of the school day, students at the Tariq bin Ziyad school in Hebron mill around outside the white-brick building, talking to friends and playing football.
The teenage students show no rush to head to class. Conversations drift from friendly rivalries between Real Madrid and Barcelona supporters, to jokes about relatives back home.
Suddenly, just seconds later, the students all sprint towards the school doors - but it is not the school bell that gets them moving. 
The now-familiar deep thud of a launched tear gas canister can be heard 150m down the road. Another 20 canisters follow in quick succession, turning the air white with gas.

Students pile into the building as quickly as they can. Those in the back shout frantically for the others to move faster; the gas is suffocating.

"Every day, clouds of gas hover over our school," says the school's head teacher, Rawhay Shukrie. "The gas bombs and the noises are affecting our students every day."
