Israeli forces raid six schools in occupied West Bank

Israeli forces raided six schools in the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, detaining several teachers, the Wafa news agency reported. 

The soldiers searched schools in the Sheikh neighborhood, as well as in southern Hebron, seizing photos and textbooks before detaining the teachers.

In a statement, the Palestinian education ministry said these actions "constitute a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian laws, particularly the conventions protecting education, and are a continuation of the occupation's systematic policy of targeting educational institutions and instilling fear among students and teaching staff," according to Wafa's reporting.
