Al Qassam website- occupied Jerusalem- IOF troops accompanied by staff from Israel’s Civil Administration raided Friday Tuyour al-Jannah kindergarten at the Bedouin complex of the Anata village  in the Jerusalem district, and gave the residents of the complex a notice that the kindergarten will be demolished within a week.
The officials took photos of the kindergarten and six houses around it on the pretext that there was no planning permission for the building.
The kindergarten was established in 2009 in a Bedouin community in ‘Anata village northwest of Jerusalem city and serves 45 children.
The director of the Jerusalem Bedouins Society, Muhammad Kreishan, said: “The soldiers and Civil Administration staff came by foot, they raided the kindergarten, photographed it and the homes around it, then they handed the Bedouin community a demolition order for the kindergarten within a week,"
He added that the community was asked to demolish the kindergarten themselves within a week or it will be demolished by the occupation authorities and the community will have to pay the cost of its demolition.
Separately, in a report, Israeli rights group Peace Now said the IOA expropriated an area of more than 100 hectares in the northern West Bank for the interests of two unchartered Jewish settlements.
The decision to confiscate the land was in response to a petition by Peace Now to dismantle the two settlements Haresha and Hayovel in order to render the settlements legal with the courts.
Elsewhere, a Palestinian man sustained a gunshot wound in a settler attack on flashpoint Palestinian village Qusra to the south of Nablus.
Locals in the village, which recently suffered a mosque attack, managed to capture the settlers who infiltrated there. After they were released, the settlers fired randomly at homes drawing response from locals, said Ghassan Dughlas, an official in charge of settlement activity in the West Bank.
Later, some 15 Israeli military vehicles advanced towards the village. Witnesses said that locals also clashed with them.
