Israeli forces entered the Bethlehem-area town of al-Khader on Tuesday and attempted to raid a school in order to confiscate footage from one of its surveillance cameras, a Palestinian official said.

PA Minister of Education, Sabri Seidam, told Ma'an that Israeli forces raided the Said al-Aas school near the separation wall.

The school was closed and had no students or teachers on the premises at the time of the raid. 

Israeli and Palestinian liaison officials arrived at the scene, in addition to military forces, with Israeli forces eventually withdrawing from the area.
