Israelis escort Palestinian kids back home from school, protect them from settlers violence
On Monday, November 2, Israelis from the group Teayosh drove to the Twaneh village to escort kids leaving school back to their homes. The Kids who reside in the villages of Toba and Maran Alabit, have to walk between the (illegal) settlements of Maon and Havat Maon to get home. In the passed 5 years, settlers from the these outposts have made a tradition of attacking the Palestinian kids with rocks and clubs. The Israeli military which suppose to walk with, and to defend these kids (or arrest the settlers that commit hate crimes) has not been showing up, and so last week, the kids were attacked again.
Twaneh, for its geographical closeness to the Maon settlement is considered to be area C, an area that is govern by the Israeli military. As such, the residence has to ask for military approval for almost any little detail. Running water are not provided (although Israel exports underground water from the occupied territories into Israel) and permits for building new homes or rooms are routinely denied. The land itself that belongs to the people in the village is regularly taken over by settlers from Maon.
