Gaza : Gunmen broke into an American school building in Beit Lahya west of the Gaza Strip early on Saturday in the second such attack on it since Thursday.
Local radio stations quoted school director Rabhi Salem as saying that an unidentified armed group broke into the school building Saturday dawn, sabotaged parts of it, stole computers and other items and set fire at six buses that were completely destroyed.
The school employees and teaching staff, mostly Americans, had to quit last year after some of them were kidnapped by Palestinian gunmen and Palestinian ones took over.
Last Thursday, three unidentified gunmen fired a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) at the school building in what was seen as a protest against the visit by the US President George W. Bush to Israel and the Palestinian Territories that ended Friday.
The school, built on a total area of 3,600 square metres school was, opened in 1999, in Beit Lahya on the Mediterranean coast.
