HEBRON, WEST BANK – Tuesday, October 11, 2010
At approximately 10:00AM, two CPT Christian Peacemaker Teams representatives were called to Cortuba  School. 
Observers informed CPTers that The Israeli Army would not allow teachers to pass through the gate at the side of the checkpoint as was the agreed upon, they were told they had to pass through the container.  The teacher refused to enter through the container and remained outside the checkpoint.  The head principal explained that the refusal by the teachers to pass through the checkpoint container was an act of resistance because no justification for the new order prohibiting teachers to enter through the gate was given.   
Some of the children returned from the school seeking information as to why teachers were not in school, clashes at the checkpoint ensued with the soldiers and settlers, resulting in seven children being taken to the hospital.
