The Ministry of Education and Higher Education condemned the storming of the Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya Girls' Secondary School in the southern Nablus district by a group of colonists led by the extremist right-wing Knesset member Tzvi Tzukot during school hours.

It reiterated its condemnation of these repeated incursions targeting the Palestinian educational environment and called on the international community to exert pressure to stop these practices, which violate the rights of students and teachers to a safe education.

The Ministry stressed its continued commitment to protecting schools, defending the rights of students and teachers, and working to provide a safe and stable learning environment for all students.

The Director General of Education in southern Nablus, Samer al-Jamal, stated that storming schools and terrorizing female students and teaching staff constitutes a clear violation of all international laws and conventions that guarantee the protection of educational institutions and ensure students' right to a safe education. He emphasized that schools must remain free from any practices or violations that disrupt the educational process.
