JERUSALEM, August 21, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli forces demolished on Monday a kindergarten in Jabal al-Baba Bedouin community to the east of Jerusalem, and seized all its contents, according to local sources.

It claimed the demolition was because the kindergarten was built without an Israeli permit, something Palestinians are never able to obtain.

Jabal al Baba is one of the 18 Bedouin communities located within the area Israel has allocated for its E1 settlement plan. Israel wants to relocate all communities in this area in order to pave the way for building a large new and controversial settlement that is expected to divide the West Bank and separate East Jerusalem from the West Bank.

Israel has already demolished dozens of makeshift homes and structures in that area, most of them were donated by the European Union as part of its humanitarian assistance for hard hit Palestinians in the Israeli controlled Area C of the occupied West  Bank.

Meanwhile, the so-called Israeli Civil Administration in the West Bank, an arm of the military government, informed residents in that area that their homes are going to demolished for construction without permit in spite of a High Court order freezing the demolitions.
