Israel to demolish mixed school near Hebron

Israeli occupation court Sunday issued a decision to demolish the Umm Qassah Mixed Elementary School, in Badia Yatta, south of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. The school principal, Youssef Al-Basaita, told WAFA that the occupation had notified the school last year of the demolition and prevented the residents from adding new classroom units to it, indicating that it consists of tin rooms, and houses 58 male and female students from the first to the fourth grades of primary school, noting that it also includes a kindergarten. Al-Basaita added that the occupation court informed the school’s lawyer of the decision to demolish it within seven days.
