Teacher films Israeli raid on West Bank primary school (video)

A school teacher in the occupied West Bank has filmed Israeli soldiers storming classrooms in an elementary school in the city of Hebron. Abdel Moniem Salaymeh said the troops entered every classroom in al-Hajj Ziad Jaber school in the Wadi al-Nasara neighbourhood and searched the children. "They were looking for signs of stones they said were thrown at them from the school," he said. Salaymeh told Al Jazeera's Awad Rajoub that the school staff had tried but failed to prevent the soldiers from entering the premises. The soldiers stormed the administrator's office and threatened to close the school if the stone throwing continued, the teacher said. Bassam Tahboub, Hebron's head of education, said that the incursion was not the first, adding that scores of students were transferred to hospitals on Tuesday after their school was exposed to tear gas.
