The Israeli reservist shot 14-year-old Aws al-Naasan in the head just outside the western gate of the Mughayyir boys’ secondary school, where he was studying in ninth grade.

Aws collapsed instantly, bleeding heavily. More shots rang out as his friends ran to his side, picked up his now-limp body and rushed him out of the line of fire, their path along the school wall marked by a trail of their classmate’s blood.

Footage from inside the building showed terrified children and teachers crouched in stairwells, shouting at others to get down. Another video captured the shooter, a reservist in partial military uniform, taking aim at the school from the hillside above.

Abolish pissrael. The IGF is a terrorist organization.

Israeli attacks there have killed at least 792 teachers and 18,639 students, according to the UN, and damaged or destroyed nine out of 10 school buildings.

I mean, to call these terrorists pigs would be an insult to the porcines.

In Hammamat al-Maleh, in the northern Jordan valley, settlers used bulldozers to raze four classrooms, school toilets and the two playground areas into a heap of twisted metal and crumpled plastic, scattered with ruined books.

The French government, which contributed some of the funding to the school, has demanded compensation from the Israeli government for the destruction.

The only way to stop "settlers" is for foreign governments to put boots on the ground in Gaza to physically stop them...

Civillians try, but the "settlers" just kill them too. They're often uneducated extremist immigrants who legitimately believe they deserve that land, and the only thing that will stop them is if they think they'll be killed if they attack.

Bibi has a long track record of sending the IDF to support them no matter what atrocities they commit. They clearly have no trouble attacking and murdering unarmed civilians. And even if Israel refunds the money for the school, obviously France thought the school was worth more than what they paid for it, or they wouldn't have paid for it.

Claiming the money back is just a way for France to highlight what Israel is doing, it's the principle (as in opposition to genocide) not the money.
