OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)– The Israeli police on Sunday closed the old building of Ahmed Al-Khaledi school in occupied Jerusalem for one extendable month on allegation it is utilized for activities by Hamas Movement.

The Israeli police chief said in a written decision that after he was personally convinced that the building in Abu Tor neighborhood known as Ahmed Al-Khaledi school was used for activities by Hamas, he ordered the closure of this place for one month starting from 04/10/2011, and noted that the building could be closed for one year.

For his part, Sheikh Khalil Al-Ghazawi, head of Al-Najat institution’s board of trustees, said that such Israeli repressive measures against Jerusalem natives are aimed at undermining their steadfastness and their struggle to stay in the holy city.

Ghazawi added the building is used as a kindergarten and was also supposed to be a high school for girls and a cultural center for the residents.
