Israel Police representatives taking part in Safe Internet Week are concentrating efforts in Jerusalem in Arab areas of the city.

“One of our goals during Safe Internet Week is to reach schools in the eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods and to explain to children and youths of the importance of this in their language” a police official told the media.

Police earlier this week visited Bet Haninah and Issawiya schools and spoke to students about safety when surfing the internet. They also spoke with students one-on-one to determine if they understand what is and what is not permitted on the internet.

Police add they will remain in contact with schools during the course of the year as part of this ongoing program.
