Today (Wednesday) the boys at Arab Institute wanted to talk about their experiences of a terrible situation that happened near the school and University in Abu Dis.
Soldiers came on Tuesday evening to destroy a house that was "too close" to the Separation Wall. By around 9.00 o'clock in the morning the local people came to demonstrate against the demolition of the house.
In response the Israeli military fired tear gas and fired rubber bullets at the protesters. By 10.00 o'clock the University, Arab Institute and Abu Dis Boys School, which are located near to the demonstration, had to be evacuated because the tear gas was suffocating the students and it was dangerous to stay.
Some students were in exams at the time and others were in lessons which caused distress and stopped them from learning. This has happened many times this year.
The students have written a short account of what happened, which are uploaded below.
