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.

On Tuesday:

In the early morning hours of Wednesday September 11th, local sources reported the following attacks by Israeli forces:

In Khan Yunis, 13 Palestinians were killed and a number of others were injured when the occupation’s warplanes bombed a house belonging to the Al-Qara family in the town of Khuza’a, east of the city. A number of them were transferred to the European Gaza Hospital. A fisherman was also killed when he was targeted by occupation boats in the open sea opposite the Mawasi area of ​​Khan Yunis.

In the town of Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip, 9 Palestinians were killed, including three children and two women, and a number of missing persons, when the Israeli occupation bombed a house belonging to the Al-Najjar family.

In the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, 4 Palestinians were killed and 11 others were injured, when the occupation targeted a house belonging to the Abu Atwi family in Block C of the camp.

The Israeli occupation warplanes launched a raid on the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, and on a house in the vicinity of Al-Mufti Land, north of Al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip. The Israeli occupation artillery also fired its shells at the northern areas of Al-Nuseirat camp and the southwestern areas of Rafah city, south of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Apache helicopters fired at Palestinian homes in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, and Israeli occupation forces fired heavily at the Zeitoun and Sabra neighborhoods in Gaza City.

 

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.
