Israel’s higher court of justice rejected a petition filed by a Jewish settler group calling for demolishing a Palestinian school in Beit Ta’mir village east of Bethlehem.
Local official Hasan Berejiya said that anti-settlement activists extracted a decision from the court against the petition which called for demolishing Tahadi 5 School in the village.
Berejiya affirmed that the settler group was thinking there were no Palestinian ownership documents for the land or signatures from the owners allowing the school to be built on their land.
Tahadi 5 School was built and opened in 2017 and later was demolished by the Israeli occupation authority but rebuilt within days.
