Palestinian education ministry condemns Israeli demolition of West Bank primary school The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education have condemned the demolition of Yanun Elementary School in the occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers, Wafa news reported on Thursday. In a statement, the ministry described the attack as a new crime against Palestinian children and a blatant violation of international law, part of a systematic policy to undermine the education sector and deprive children of their fundamental right to education. The demolition comes about eight months after residents of the village of Yanun were forcibly displaced, following repeated attacks from Israeli settlers.
