A group of Israeli settlers have attacked a school in the occupied West Bank, the latest such assault by residents of illegal settlements, Al Jazeera reports.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement condemning the attack on the Ka’abneh Bedouins School in Jericho, calling it an extension of the Israeli “crime of ethnic cleansing” against Palestinians.

The ministry warned that the “settler’s terrorism” will lead to more assaults on Palestinians, adding that such attacks reflect official Israeli policy adopted by the government and supervised by “extremist ministers”, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
