Israeli security forces stormed two Palestinian schools in the blockaded West Bank city of Hebron on Sunday. They also clashed with Palestinian school students in Al-Khader neighbourhood in Bethlehem, Quds Press has reported. Tear gas was fired at the students who threw stones at the soldiers.

According to the Yatta coordinator of the national anti-Israeli separation wall movement, Ratib Al-Jabour, when the Israelis stormed Al-Majaz School they carried out a thorough inspection while the pupils were present. Not unnaturally, he said, this scared many of the children. He added said that the security forces handed a summons to Ibrahim Nusa, the school’s doorman, to attend office of the intelligence services.

The other school stormed by the Israelis was Al-Musafer Primary School, where classrooms were also searched. In Al-Tabban neighbourhood, the troops searched tents and confiscated construction equipment.
