RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Nablus - 13 March. Palestinian students walk to their schools from the main road in al-Lubban al-Sharqiya village, south of Nablus city, in the West Bank STORYLINE: 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. An armed Israeli settler opened gunfire today at a girls school in the village of Tuqu in the West Bank province of Bethlehem, according to local sources. Bassam Jabr, an official of the Bethlehem Education Directorate, told WAFA that an Israeli settler who was armed with a rifle got off a bus loaded with settlers and opened gunfire towards the school, spreading fear among the schoolchildren. Jabr said that in the aftermath of the attack, hundreds of students were evacuated to a safe haven and therefore classes were cancelled. Violence and vandalism by Israeli settlers is commonplace in the occupied West Bank, and is never prosecuted by the Israeli authorities. Attacks by settlers against Palestinians particularly intensified during the last three months, with Israeli army turning a blind eye to the violence spree and providing the settlers with protection. Israeli forces opened gunfire and teargas today towards Palestinian bird hunters in the middle and south of the Gaza Strip, according to local sources. Footage by / APAwire
