The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education on Tuesday 
said that Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) shelled a school in Deir 
Al-Balah, east of Gaza city, while students were writing their General 
Secondary Exam (Tawjihi) in it.

Local sources said the governmental school of Abdullah bin Rawaha, east 
of Deir al-Balah, was hit by shrapnel shells as part of the Israeli 
shelling of the eastern part of the city.

The shelling hit the school while the students were handing in their 
high school exam, which led to high tensions among the students.

However, no casualties were reported.

The ministry added that the ministerial exams follow-up committee  was 
following up with the issue and had taken necessary measures to ensure 
taking appropriate steps.

The ministry also condemned the shelling on Gaza, pointing out that the 
occupation did not hesitate to target and bombard educational 
institutions in flagrant violation of all international conventions and 
conventions.

The ministry called on international organizations and human rights 
organizations to denounce this aggression and punish the occupation for 
its repeated crimes against Palestinian people.

This morning, IOF shelled four sites in the strip in response to Gaza 
firing 28 mortar shells into Gaza enclave settlements in response to the 
killing of three Hamas fighters last week.

During the past two months, IOF killed at least 117 Palestinians in Gaza.
