Israeli forces demolish Palestinian school in al-Khalil

Tuesday 10-April-2018

Israeli forces demolished Monday night a primary school in Zanouta town to the south of al-Khalil just one month after it had been inaugurated by the Palestinian Education Ministry.

Israeli forces demolished Zanouta school near al-Dahriyeh in the southern occupied West Bank and imposed a tight cordon in its vicinities.

The school which comprises six classrooms was built from cement blocks and metal plates and provides services for 43 students including 10 children in kindergarten.

The Directorate of Education and Higher Education south of al-Khalil slammed the arbitrary demolition saying the school was inaugurated on March 25 along with other schools built to provide education for children in communities endangered by Israeli military measures.

Civil society representatives announced their intent to rebuild the school on Tuesday as a means to face up to such Israeli measures.
