Archivist Notes On This Video

"Once again, another shelter becomes a target for the Israeli occupation. There are a number of martyrs- I just heard them say these are the remains of a martyr, colelct lie this (in a piece of cloth.) This is also a classroom. Few moments ago, I met a woman who told me she was teaching here and doesn't who among her students survived, or not. You can also see tents here, a rare commodity. They were stored here so they could be ereced int he courtyard. More importantly, the martyrs' torn body parts were strewn about the place. Their blood too. Extensive destruction... The Civil Defense told me the occupation struck the place with two bombs, and this (zooming on the roof) is the hole left by the bomb. This is not the first time this school was bombed as this wing was targeted before, then the wing on the opposite side in another strike. If people are being bombed in classrooms, and shelters, and tents, and at home, where should they go? A difficult question, without an answer."

Archivist Notes: Ibn Al-Haytham School massacre

In the afternoon, an Israeli aristrike targeted the Ibn al-Haytham Boys' Primary School in Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. The school, like all others, housed displaced people and a teacher by the name of In'aam, was still offering courses to her students there.

Journalists were told by the Civil Defense crews that the school was struck without warning with two bombs which penetrated all the way to the ground floor to the teacher's classroom, where displaced people were staying.

The intensity of the bombing caused victims to be flung out of the classroom and body parts were seen strewn about the scene.

This school has been targeted multiple times before, including during ground incursions.
