The attack on Aws, who was shot in the head by an Israeli reservist, reflects a disturbing trend. Following this tragedy, classes at Mughayyir boys’ secondary school were suspended for a week after the killings of Aws and another student, Jihad Abu Naim. The incident is not an isolated one; it follows reports of Israeli settlers attacking and demolishing a British- and European-funded school shortly thereafter.

Key statistics:

• The UN reported that at least 792 teachers and 18,639 students have been killed due to Israeli attacks in Gaza.
• Settlers have used bulldozers to raze classrooms and playgrounds at schools like Hammamat al-Maleh.
• Israeli forces have a documented history of disrupting education in Mughayyir by setting up checkpoints that intimidate students.
