Picture
Israeli forces, on Wednesday morning, blocked passage through Um El-Rayhan checkpoint, near Ya’bad town, to the south of Jenin, so as to  halt the movement of Palestinian citizens and students.

Local resources reported, according to Al Ray, that Palestinian students from Um El-Rayhan and Daher El-Abed towns were deprived of reaching their schools due to the checkpoint closure, as usual.

The Director of Education in Jenin condemned, in a press release, the Israeli military’s procedure and considered it a disturbance, as it prevented the students from performing their final examinations.

Picture
Al-Shuhada Street

Israeli settlers verbally assaulted and threatened a Palestinian to kill him, in the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron, on Thursday morning.

Ziad al-Sharabati told Ma’an that he was threatened by three Israeli settlers as he was helping international activists who were escorting children to cross the al-Shuhada Street checkpoint on their way to their school.

Al-Sharabati added that the settlers verbally assaulted him and cursed him and the international activists before threatening all of them.

He pointed out that Israeli settlers verbally assault and curse at international activists helping locals in an attempt to force them out of the area.

Palestinian residents of the Old City of Hebron face a large Israeli military presence on a daily basis, with at least 32 permanent and partial checkpoints set up at the entrances of many streets.

Additionally, Palestinians are not allowed to drive on al-Shuhada street, have had their homes and shops on the street welded shut, and in some areas of the Old City, are not permitted to walk on certain roads.

Meanwhile, Israeli settlers move freely on the street, drive cars, and carry machine guns.

IOF imposes closure on Arroub camp
Picture
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday morning closed the main gates to Arroub refugee camp and Palestine Technical University.

Dean of Students Affairs Department at Palestine Technical University- Arroub branch, Issa al-Emla, said that the IOF soldiers have been deployed in large numbers around the university since the early morning hours.

Al-Emla said that the IOF further prevented Palestinian citizens from leaving or entering the camp through its main entrance.

Al-Emla stressed that the closure imposed on Palestine Technical University is a deliberate aggression on Palestinian institutions and a blatant violation of international norms.

Dozens of Palestinians were injured on Sunday during clashes with the IOF in Arroub camp, north of al-Khalil city.

Local sources said that the IOF heavily fired rubber-coated metal bullets, stun grenades, and teargas bombs at the Palestinian citizens.

Israeli Soldiers Briefly Detainee Three Schoolgirls Near Ramallah
Israeli soldiers detained, on Sunday morning, three schoolgirls from Betunia Basic School, west of Ramallah, in central West Bank, and threatened to attack any person who approaches them after placing them in their jeep, and released them shortly afterwards.

The Palestinian Ministry of Education denounced the ongoing Israeli violation, and military harassment against the schoolchildren.

The three schoolgirls, in the sixth and seventh grades, were forced into a military jeep, without any cause of justification, and were screaming and crying, while the soldiers also terrified other school girls by threatening to abduct them, or shoot them if they do not leave the area. video

Eyewitnesses said the soldiers released the schoolgirls shortly after
detaining them, and left the area.

Israeli ongoing violations against Palestinian children are ongoing breaches on various international law, and human rights agreements, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially Article #16, which states that “

1. No child shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his or her honor and reputation.
2. The child has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

EU express 'strong concern' over Israeli demolition policy
Picture
The European Union (EU) expressed, on Thursday, "strong concern" regarding the dismantling of a Palestinian school, serving 40 Palestinian schoolchildren in the al-Simiya village in the southern West Bank district of al-Khalil by the Israeli authorities on December 5th.

The EU missions said, in a statement, that this is the fifth demolition or confiscation of school and kindergarten structures which the Israeli authorities have carried out in the West Bank in 2018.

According to the EU statement, a total of 50 schools, in Area C and East Jerusalem, have received demolition or stop work orders by Israel "creating a coercive environment affecting more than 5,000 school children."

"Every child has the right to access education and States have an obligation to protect, respect and fulfil this right, by ensuring that schools are inviolable safe spaces for children."

The statement added "In line with its long-standing position on this issue, the EU calls upon the Israeli authorities to halt demolitions and confiscations of Palestinian houses and property, in accordance with its obligations as an occupying power under international humanitarian law, and to cease the policies of settlement construction and expansion, of designating land for exclusive Israeli use and of denying Palestinian development, all of which threaten the two-state solution."

The EU missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah also called upon the Israeli authorities to rebuild the school structures in the same place without delay.

Picture
12/16/18, International Solidarity Movement, Al-Khalil Team, Hebron, Occupied Palestine
At 1pm, 4 Israeli occupation soldiers entered Salaymeh neighbourhood, Hebron.

Activists were present from 12:30 pm and did not witness any stones thrown or other provocation.

The soldiers fired 21 tear gas rounds in under 5 minutes into the street outside the 3 schools and into two schoolyards.

Another video account of this incident [480p VIDEO]  or   [HD VIDEO]

There are 3 primary schools on the street where the tear gas was used:

  • Hebron School
  • UNRWA Hebron Basic Boys School
  • Khadijah School

There are also 4 other schools in the immediate area.

During this time the soldiers also threw three concussion grenades over a wall into the Hebron School. They were unable to see who was on the other side of the wall or where they were at the time.

The headmaster of Hebron School said that 5 tear gas rounds were fired into the schoolyard in total.

Older school students were still in Hebron School. 30 boys and 5 teachers suffered tear gas inhalation.

Activists also found a spent tear gas round in a garden in the grounds of the UNRWA Hebron Basic Boys School.

There was no threat to the soldiers or anyone else at the time yet the soldiers continued to fire tear gas into the neighbourhood even the streets were completely empty of people.

They seemed to stop only when they had run out of tear gas.

The tear gas spread through the neighbourhood into schools and residential buildings along the streets where families live.

It was a still afternoon and the tear gas stayed in the immediate area and dispersed very slowly continuing to effect local residents.

Last month 238 tear gas rounds and 51 concussion grenades were fired in this neighbourhood. See the November report on Education in Palestine from Christian Peacemaker Teams:

Palestine School Report: Education under Military Occupation November, 2018 [pdf]

This latest tear gas assault comes on the tail of two weeks when 6 boys between 10 and 14 years of age were abducted by Israeli occupation soldiers and Border Police.
