Israeli Army Kills 450 Students Preparing For High School

The Israeli army killed 450 Palestinian children since 7 October, 2023. They would have enrolled in high school this year.

Palestinian Education Ministry spokesman Sadiq Al Khadour was speaking Saturday on the start of the high schools exams in the occupied West Bank.

He emphasized that due to the war, exams won’t be held in Gaza most of whose schools were destroyed by Israeli bombardment.

Al Khadour added 430 students from Gaza and 20 from the West Bank were preparing to enter high school but were killed by the Israeli army.

 About 50,000 students took the high school exams this while 39,000 pupils were unable to do so because of the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza.

The Israeli brutal offensive has destroyed 110 schools and universities and partially damaged 321. The government media office in Gaza stated the military bombardment of many parts of the Gaza Strip resulted in the killing of over 10,000 students according to TRTWorld.

More than 37,000 civilians have been killed in the Israeli war on Gaza with the injury of over 85,000 most of whom are women and children.
