Israeli military destroys teaching facility at Jordan Valley school

Thursday 8-November-2018

Classes at an elementary school in Khirbet Ibzeik in the northern Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank were disrupted on Thursday when Israeli soldiers raided the school and destroyed a teaching facility.

School headmaster Firas Daraghmeh said Israeli raided the campus and dismantled a tent used by teaching staff and students.

The soldiers also blocked roads leading to the school and prevented students and teachers from reaching it.

The tent was set up after the army dismantled and seized caravans in the school in October.

Classes at the targeted school which provides courses for students from grade one to the 6th grade are taught by four instructors.

Israel does not allow Palestinians to build in the Jordan Valley which is classified as Area C and makes up over 60 percent of the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli military often demolishes whatever Palestinians build in the area under the pretext of unlicensed construction.
