Just one day before the new school semester began, Israeli authorities destroyed the classrooms of dozens of Palestinian children in the village of Jub-Ad-Dhib in the occupied West Bank. Some eighty children between the ages of five and ten were forced to attend classes in tents under the hot sun, after the steel cabins used as school buildings, along with other educational equipment, had been destroyed or confiscated by Israeli forces. According to the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, the area was also closed off, declared a military zone and packed with security forces who used stun grenades to deter locals. The European Union Representative and the EU Heads of Mission in Jerusalem and Ramallah issued a statement expressing their “strong concern” over the recent string of Palestinian school confiscations.
