School in south of West Bank under constant threat of demolition by Israel

 

HEBRON, Wednesday, April 03, 2019 (WAFA) – A school in Khillat al-Dabe, in the south of the West Bank, is under constant threat of demolition after an Israeli army force came to the school today and took pictures of it and of other homes in the area, according to Rateb al-Jabour, a local activist.

He told WAFA that soldiers raided Khillat al-Dabe village, located in Area C of the West Bank, and took pictures of the school and several homes for the Dababse family in what is believed to be a prelude to demolishing the structures under the pretext they were built without a permit.

Israel has already demolished the school once in July and its furniture seized, but it was rebuilt by the village residents and the Palestinian Ministry of Education in clear defiance of the Israeli measure.

The army returned to the village at the end of January and posted a demolition order at the door to the school.

Area C, which makes over 60 percent of the area of the occupied West Bank, remains under full Israeli military control where Palestinian development is not allowed and prevented by force.
