"We call upon everyone, journalists, activists, anyone who can help us spread the word. We are the community of Um al-Kheir and our children, our students are facing a blockade by the settlers. It's important to stand with us to reclaim our right of walking safely to the school from the hysterical walking path that the settlers have blocked. We believe in our right to this path, we believe in our children's right to education, and we will not stop until we reopen this road.

As an English teacher,l believe that we should fight until the end to reopen this walking path. Not only to reopen this path that the settlers blocked with razor wire, but to stand up for one of the main basic rights for humans: the right to education for every child in this world. We need people to stand with us, to make media attention, and bring more outside pressure on the Israeli occupation to reopen this road that the settlers have blocked without any justification nor reason. Legally, settlers are not allowed to block this walking path. We need your help to stand with us here to show everyone that the official authorities are complicit with the settlers' actions on the ground."

Children have a right to saftey and an education

“Israel has already violated the ceasefire agreement it struck with Lebanon late on Thursday, the Lebanese Army has said.

Writing on X, the army urged "citizens to exercise caution in returning to the southern villages and towns, amid a number of violations of the agreement, with several Israeli attacks recorded, in addition to intermittent shelling targeting a number of villages."

The Israeli military has told people in Lebanon not to return to the areas of the south where its troops are still present.

The area south of the Litani river has been cut off from the rest of the country after Israel bombed several bridges.

Israel has also destroyed over 1,000 homes a day in Lebanon since it escalated its attacks there early last month, according to data from the country's National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS).

Most of the destroyed homes were in the south, where Israeli soldiers have carried out numerous controlled demolitions of villages - which experts say could be a war crime - as part of an illegal land-grabbing operation there.

Lebanon was supposed to be included in a ceasefire deal between the US and Iran earlier this month, but Israel continued to attack its neighbouring country anyway, massacring hundreds of civilians.

Israel has announced a so-called "buffer zone" in southern Lebanon - a plan to draw a new demarcation line deeper inside Lebanese territory, effectively expanding Israel's own borders. It says its troops will stay there despite Thursday's ceasefire.

Finance minister Bezalel Smotrich last week confirmed plans to expand Israel's borders in Syria, Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank, a nod to the biblically inspired 'greater Israel' project.

"There will be a political component in Lebanon that will extend our borders to the Litani River within defensible lines," he said.”
