Israeli forces also detained the principal, Adnan Daana, for unknown reasons.

The Palestinian Ministry of education released its annual report for 2017 documenting the Israeli government’s violations against Palestinian education, saying that 80,279 Palestinian children and 4,929 teachers and staff were “attacked” by Israeli settlers or soldiers.

On Sunday a settler used his car to block a road and refused to allow Palestinian children to walk to school. Hurling abuse at them he called them “thieves” and drove his car at them.
