Khalil (Hebron), Dhu-AlQa'dah 18, 1432, Oct 16, 2011, SPA - The Israeli army Sunday attacked and closed a Palestinian school in the Old City in Al-Khalil for the fourth day in a row, said a local official. An official in Al-Khalil Education Department, Sameeh Abu Zakiye, said Israeli soldiers gave students a 10-minute warning to evict the school before forcefully dispersing them by shooting rubber bullets and tear gas. Abu Zakiye said Israeli soldiers spread in the Old City, which lies under Palestinian security control, took post at roof tops near the school and detained the school janitor under the pretext of his attacking Israeli soldiers. Palestinians attempting to stop the attack at the school were faced with sound-grenades and tear-gas, Abu Zakiye was quoted as saying by Palestine News and Information Agency "WAFA".
