Settlers block Palestinian pupils' path to West Bank school with barbed wire

By Nuha Sharaf and Yosri Al-Jamal JERUSALEM, April 16 (Reuters) - Dozens of Palestinian children have been unable to go to school in the Israeli-occupied West Bank this week because of barbed wire erected by Jewish settlers across the path they normally use. Dozens of children tried on Monday to get to school in the small village of Umm al-Khair near the city of Hebron for the first time since the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran began. They found their way blocked by barbed wire which villagers said had been placed there by Israelis from the nearby Carmel settlement.
