Archivist Notes On This Video

"This is the Umm al-Fahm school whihc was struck by Israeli warplanes a few moments ago, leading to the martyrdom of several Palestinians who were inside this shelter.

*The Umm al-Fahm secondary school was, of course, turned into a shelter. Right now, the martyrs' shredded remains, dispersed around the place, are being picked up by people with their bare hands.

(0:43) This ceiling is at risk of collapse according to the Civil Defense crews.

This a recurrent scene as Israeli targeting of shelters has intensified lately. (1:01) Let's have a better view of the school being used as a shelter, outside of the classroom that was struck. The displaced people are in a state of fear."
