Archivist Notes: Ghazi Al-Shawwa school in Beit Hanoun

Israel repeatedly bombed another school-turned-shelter in Beit Hanoun: The Ghazi Al-Shawwa school.

The school was reportedly vacated and no casualties were reported.

This is the third school attack by the IDF in five days and the 7th major IDF school attack so far in September.

The day before, at least five people were killed in an Israeli air attack on Shuhada al-Zaytoun School in Gaza City. On September 11, at least 18 people were killed in another air attack on a school-turned-shelter in central Gaza Strip.

Most of the 560 schools in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged.

Israeli spin:

  • The Israeli military confirmed it carried out an air raid at what it claimed was a command room. As usual, the statement was : “We executed a precise strike on a former school in Beit Hanoun used by Hamas as a command and control center,” it said in a post on X.

Aftermath:

Palestinians returned to the school a few hours after the bombardment and immediately started clearing the rubble, in a show of resilience and willingness to live.
