At least five pupils killed at West Bank school caught between settlers and military
A Guardian investigation reveals how Al Mughayyir boys' school in the West Bank has become a flashpoint, with deaths among students attributed to settlers and soldiers.
At least five pupils at Al Mughayyir boys' school in a West Bank village have been killed in the past year by settlers and soldiers, according to a Guardian report. The school faces severe restrictions, with military checkpoints blocking access on all but one road, preventing teachers from neighbouring villages from reaching the campus reliably.
Waheed Abu Naim, an English teacher at the school, describes the deteriorating conditions despite his commitment to students who greet him each morning. The village is now surrounded by settlers, with the military enforcing access controls that have effectively isolated the community.
