Students and witnesses said the building had been brought to rubble with no trace of the school that once stood there. "We got ready to come to school and when we arrived we didn't find the school," student Mohammed Ibrahim told Reuters. "They demolished the school and they took everything with them," a nearby resident and witness whose grandson was a student at the school Ismael Salah told Reuters. The Gush Etzion Regional Council, which represents a nearby block of Jewish settlers in the West Bank, welcomed the demolition.
