Israeli forces Wednesday morning obstructed students’ access to their school in al-Lubban Ash-Sharqiya village, south of Nablus, according to local sources.
They said that Israeli soldiers deliberately prevented the students from walking on the Nablus-Ramallah Road to reach their school on time, forcing them to go through rough terrain to reach it.
They also held a 17-year-old student from the nearby village of Ammuriya for over two hours before releasing him.
Attacks on education by Israeli military forces and Israeli settlers in the Palestine constitute grave violations of children’s rights to education and development. These attacks are particularly prevalent in the most vulnerable areas of the West Bank – Area C, H2 and Jerusalem.
