Israeli troops invaded the town of Al Khader located near the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem and surrounded the local school for girls on Monday midday.

Local sources reported the soldiers arrived and sealed off the school while the children are inside then demanded to search the school, or they will close the school for 30 days.

The school was celebrating the graduation of the senior students; soldiers claimed that there is what they call “wanted people” inside the school. Local sources added.

Troops left the town after surrounding the school for some time.
