The Israeli army destroyed a school in Palestine, condemned by the EU
Israeli military forces destroyed a school in Masafer Yata on November 23, in Palestinian territory, the European Union expressed regret.
Demolition of buildings and houses in Palestinian territory is illegal under international law.
The EU reminds that educational institutions and schools must be especially respected.
This unacceptable event comes as 1200 Palestinians in Masafer Yata are under threat of forcible transfer following a decision by the Israeli Supreme Court in May, and takes place in the context of an increasingly violent and frightening environment for Palestinian residents of Masafer Yata, the European Union said through its diplomatic service. .
It is also reminded that teachers and humanitarian workers face restrictions more and more often.
EU calls on Israel to end demolitions and expulsions that "only increase the suffering of the Palestinian population" and lead to further escalation of tensions
