Narrative

“This heinous assault is part of a continuous series of attacks on education; over the past six days, 10 students and educators have been killed by the occupation’s fire.” Gaza civil defence spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said four other people were killed on Sunday, two in an airstrike in the southern city of Khan Younis, one in central Deir al Balah and one in the north of the Strip. Earlier this week, Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least four people in the Gaza Strip on Thursday. A truce has been in effect in Gaza for over a year, but has failed to completely halt Israeli attacks in the territory.
