Ramallah (IINA) – Israeli bulldozers on Sunday demolished an elementary school and seized all its contents in Abu al-Nawwar Bedouin community, east of Jerusalem, according to one of the Bedouin locals.
Abu Imad al-Jahalin told Palestine News Agency WAFA that around 30 Israeli military vehicles, accompanied by over 130 soldiers, stormed the Bedouin community during the predawn hours of Sunday, and proceeded to demolish Abu al-Nawwar elementary school, after the seizure of all its contents, including student desks and chairs.
Jahalin noted that the school, which was built through European funding, is the sole elementary school in the community. He added that Israeli occupation aims to empty the community of its indigenous Palestinian population for the benefit of settlement expansion.
