Israeli court okays demolition of Palestinian elementary school

Friday 16-November-2018

Israel’s Supreme Court issued a verdict green-lighting the demolition of the Palestinian school of Tahadi 5 in Beit Ta’mur village east of Bethlehem.

Director of the Anti-Settlement Committee in Bethlehem Hasan Brijiya said the court rule signaled the go-ahead for the demolition of the school by the Israeli military and settlers.

Attorney Emil Mashreki will reportedly file an appeal at Israel’s Central Court to outlaw the demolition of the school.

Brijiya said the Palestinian locals will maintain vigil in the area so as to stand on guard to any projected demolition measure.

In a clear violation of all laws and human rights principles including the right to education and access to educational institutions many Palestinian schools in Palestinian villages and Bedouin communities are attacked by Israeli soldiers and settlers.
