Israel Demolishes Palestinian School in West Bank, Drawing International Criticism.

Israel demolished a Palestinian elementary school in the Bedouin village of Jubbet ab-Dib, near Bethlehem, following a court ruling on a petition submitted by the right-wing NGO Regavim. The school, which served dozens of students, was built six years ago and funded by the EU. The demolition was condemned by the EU and the German Foreign Ministry, who called it a violation of children's right to education. Regavim claims the school was built illegally and is part of the Palestinians' method of taking control of the land. Locals have set up a tent in the same spot to hold classes.
