West Bank school becomes deadly flashpoint as settlers and soldiers target pupils

In the West Bank village of Al Mughayyir, a small boys' school has become a symbol of something ancient and terrible: the deliberate targeting of the places where children learn. Over the past year, five students have been killed by settlers and soldiers, while military checkpoints strangle the roads that teachers use to reach their classrooms. What unfolds here is not incidental — it is the slow, methodical erasure of ordinary life, one school day at a time.
