TUBAS, West Bank (Dispatches) – Zionist troops on Tuesday dismantled and seized caravans belonging to a local Palestinian school in Tubas area in the West Bank's northern Valleys and detained the faculty staff.
The school serves about 24 Palestinian students in the area of Khirbet Ibiziq. It is one of nearly a dozen public schools named as "Challenge Schools" located in areas classified as area (C).
According to Aref Daraghmeh, Palestinian human rights activist in the area, Zionist troops closed down roads leading to the school and dismantled two caravans.
Sa'ed Qabaha, director of Education Ministry in Tubas area told Xinhua that the Zionist regime is confiscating the right of dozens of students from the area to receive public education.
In another development, the French Foreign Ministry has called on the Zionist regime to "permanently abandon their plans to demolish Khan al-Ahmar and to remove the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the village” as the Tel Aviv regime presses ahead with its land expropriation policies in the occupied territories irrespective of great international outcry.
The ministry said in a statement that France takes note of the decision by Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to postpone the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar for the time being, stressing that the Bedouin village is "located in an area that is key to the contiguity of a future Palestinian state and therefore the viability of the two-state solution.”
"France, in collaboration with its European partners, has repeatedly called on Israeli authorities not to proceed with the destruction of Khan al-Ahmar and the forced evacuation of its inhabitants,” the statement pointed out.
Some 180 residents of Khan-al Ahmar village face being forcibly evicted and transferred by the Zionist army.
Zionist authorities have reportedly offered the villagers a choice of two possible destinations: a site near the former al-Quds municipal garbage dump, near the village of Abu Dis, or a site in the vicinity of a sewage plant close to the city of Ariha.

Palestinian demonstrators shout slogans near Zionist troops during a protest on October 5, 2018 along a highway leading to the Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar, which the regime authorities plan to demolish, in the occupied West Bank.
