Tear gas attacks are used by Israel to target Palestinians from age 1 month to age 85, and this more recent tear gas attack by Israel has killed an 85 year old Palestinian man.

"Elderly man dies after inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli forces"
QALQILIYA (Ma'an) -- "An 85-year-old man died overnight Wednesday after inhaling excessive amounts of tear gas fired by Israeli forces in the Qalqiliya village of Kafr Qaddum, locals said, representing the first Palestinian death of 2014."
Maan reports that this incident occurred after Israeli forces dispersed a rally in the town commemorating the 49th anniversary of the founding of the Fatah movement.
The 85 year old man was targeted with tear gas in his own home. I read: "The rally marched towards the entrance of the town before Israeli troops showered the area with tear gas. A canister landed in the home of Said Jasir, causing him to suffocate."
There are weekly protests in Kafr Qaddum to protest the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, which Israel regularly responds to with unlawful violence.

And this report is not being reported by Ma'an alone.
Here is another report:
