Palestinian students
VS
Israeli soldiers
Palestinian students in the village of al-Mughayyir, north-east of Ramallah, must pass Israeli soldiers to reach their school.
Israeli soldiers are stationed in the area as part of Israel's military presence in the occupied West Bank.
The two sides have conflicting interests because the students need to travel to school freely, while the soldiers' presence and actions can restrict or endanger that passage.
The research material also describes broader confrontations between Palestinian students and Israeli soldiers, including at universities such as Hebrew University and Rutgers, where Palestinian students have protested the presence of former Israeli soldiers and the militarization of their campuses.
What is at stake is the students' access to education and safety, as well as the wider tension over Israel's military presence in Palestinian areas.
Reports in the research material include incidents in which Israeli soldiers shot Palestinian teens, and Palestinian students have organized against what they describe as the militarization of their educational institutions.
