An extremist Jewish settler stormed the courtyard of a Palestinian school in the town of Silat al-Dhahr, south of Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday morning, driving his vehicle inside and chasing students while brandishing his weapon.
Eyewitnesses reported that an armed settler suddenly drove into the schoolyard, chasing students while aiming his firearm at them, sending them fleeing in panic.
The witnesses added that the settler withdrew from the school and town shortly afterward, with no injuries reported.
A video clip circulated on social media showed the moment the settler stormed the schoolyard, with students running in different directions to escape.
This incident comes amid a rise in settler attacks across the West Bank, targeting Palestinians and their property as part of Israeli efforts to pressure them to leave their areas to make way for settlement construction and expansion.
