Dozens of Palestinian children from the Umm al-Khair village are unable to attend school in the Israeli-occupied West Bank this week because of barbed wire erected by settlers, allegedly with the protection of Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem said the barbed wire is part of a coordinated campaign by settlers and the Israeli military to intimidate Palestinians and drive them from their land in the West Bank, which it said amounts to “ethnic cleansing.
In Um al-Khair, Occupied West Bank, Palestinian children are seen attempting to go to school, but are met with a "road block". The text overlay indicates "israeli settlers" are preventing them from reaching their destination. This incident highlights ongoing "human rights" concerns in "palestine" and the broader "middle east" region.
