The only elementary school in the Palestinian Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar is facing demolition by Israeli forces. Tel Aviv has ordered the closure of the school, saying it lacks the required license from Israeli authorities. However, defying the Israeli order, the school has started its academic year sooner than usual.
