Bethlehem, MINA – The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) demolished late Tuesday a primary school east of the southern West Bank province of Bethlehem.
Local sources affirmed to the PIC reporter that IOF soldiers broke into Jib al-Zayyib area to the east of Bethlehem city, accompanied by a number of bulldozers, and started the demolition of a primary school under the pretext of being built without “Israeli permit.”
Local residents tried to prevent the demolition, however; Israeli forces prevented them from approaching the area, PIC reported.
The demolition process came only few hours before the start of the new school year in Palestine.
