Israeli settlers have built a religious school in Burqa village, in the occupied West Bank.

In March, Israel’s parliament approved an amendment allowing Israelis to resettle four illegal settlements in the north, including Homesh.

Israel’s government which took office last year is moving ahead with legislation to legalise nine outposts and expand existing settlements.

Last week several Palestinians and an Israeli settler were hurt in violence after European officials toured the area.
