The teachers were meeting to plan the school year for the hundreds of thousands of displaced students, nearly all of whom have already missed an entire school year due to the 341 straight days of Israeli bombardment. An Israeli missile targeted them, killing all of the teachers and a number of others.
This follows an attack on the previous day in which 40 civilians were killed and 60 wounded in a single Israeli airstrike on Al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis on a tent camp for internally displaced Palestinians that targeted 20 tents where displaced civilians were sheltering. According to the Civil Defense; the crater from the airstrike is 10 meters wide, and those inside were burned alive.
A report released this week by the Middle East Monitor found that despite its ‘safe zone’ designation, 5 Israel massacres have killed 217 Palestinians in Al-Mawasi since May.

Since the start of the aggression on October 7, 2023, at least 41,020 Palestinians have been killed, many of them children and women, and 94,925 others have been injured. Rescue teams are still facing great difficulties in reaching thousands of victims who are still under the rubble or on the streets.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,589 children, 11,207 women, 182 journalists and 23 emergency responders, 885 medical staff, 82 Civil Defense staff, and 203 UNRWA staff.
Most experts estimate the death toll is much higher – and could be at least 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza that began October 7th 2023 when 1100 Israelis were killed, including 700 civilians, inside Israel. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon.
