Continuous rounds of tear gas fired in Bethlehem

The situation inside Bethlehem continues to remain tense. MEE correspondent Yumna Patel has provided us with an update:

200 protesters are still scattered around the main road and a few young Palestinian men on the front line have been setting fire to bins.

Israeli soldiers have just fired rounds of rubber bullets. I've seen a young boy handing out tissues sprayed with perfume to help protect from the tear gas while a young Palestinian man in his teens passed out from inhaling tear gas.
