As per the instruction of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the commission asserted that it will rebuild the school and continue to build all that the occupation destroys.

The Education Ministry also denounced the destruction of the school saying that it strips the children of the right to free safe and independent education.

The Ministry labeled this as a heinous crime and part of a series of many crimes targeting the educational system, and paying no heed to international charters, calling on international humanitarian organizations to take a stance against these escalating infringements.

It affirmed that it will do what it takes to make education available and accessible to all, to instilling a sense of determination in schoolchildren.

Al-Tahadi schools were established in occupation-controlled lands, to ensure the right of education to the children of Bedouin communities who had to walk long distances to get to the nearest school.
