School in South of West Bank under Constant Threat of Demolition by Zionist Entity
HEBRON – 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.
Azzoun, a Palestinian town under Israeli military siege as a punishment
Oon the other hand in Qalqilya, East of the northern West Bank city of Qalqilya, Azzoun, a town of 12,000 people, has been under Israeli military siege for more than a week as collective punishment, according to residents.
Mohammad Radwan, a resident of Azzoun, told WAFA that the Israeli military blocked the main access road to the town with a metal gate and cement blocks to prevent cars and people from leaving or entering it.
He said the main entrance has been closed for seven straight days apparently to punish the town residents after a metal gate the army had placed at the entrance was sawed.
As a result, residents have to take long and rough alternate routes to leave the town or enter it.
Meanwhile, a young town resident was detained today when soldiers spotted him near the metal gate and seized his car.
Azzoun is actually surrounded by six illegal Jewish settlements, the separation wall, five metal gates, and four military towers.
