Fears for Children's Safety in West Bank School as Settler Attacks Rise The recent surge in settler attacks around the village of al Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank has left Palestinian parents terrified for their children's safety.
The rise in violence has been met with a predictable response from Israel: ad hoc checkpoints and barbed wire fencing surrounding schools, effectively turning them into garrisoned compounds.
This is not new to those familiar with the Israeli Palestinian conflict, where cycles of escalation have become all too familiar. However, this current wave stands out for its brazen disregard for international law.
