Earlier Israeli raid in West Bank refugee camp killed 13 people - UN
This latest news of an Israeli strike in the West Bank comes after a separate update on the territory from the UN.Thirteen people - including five children - were reportedly killed in the West Bank during an Israeli security forces operation in the Nur Shams refugee camp, according to the UN's relief and works agency for Palestine refugees in the near east (UNRWA).
In a statement issued on Saturday, UNRWA said one Israeli soldier was also killed and "scores of others were injured".
The UN agency was forced to suspend services including schools, health and solid waste collection, it said in a statement.
The Israeli-occupied West Bank is home to three million Palestinians.
In the past 50 years Israel has built settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, where more than 700,000 Jews now live. Settlements are held to be illegal under international law - that is the position of the UN Security Council and the UK government, among others - although Israel rejects this.
This year has been the deadliest year on record for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. According to UNRWA, more than 270 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank so far this tear - with at least 82 of those killings taking place after Hamas's attack in southern Israel on 7 October.

The strike hit the Al-Ansar mosque, which the Israeli military said on Sunday “was used by the terrorists as a command centre to plan the attacks and as a base for their execution”, Agence France-Presse reports.
The Israeli military said those targeted had already carried out “several terror attacks over the last months and were organising an additional imminent terror attack”.
It said they were “neutralised”, without giving details on the number killed in the strike or their identities.

BBM. The Hamas "government" isn't in charge of Gaza schools. I have no idea how terrorists recruit their followers but please don't blame schools. The Greek Orthodox school that was hit by an Israeli air strike had nothing to do with the Hamas government.
The Israel War is with Hamas terrorists, not the civilians who live there who are now sheltering in schools or hospitals and who are dependent on humanitarian aid.

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus told CNN the IDF had new intelligence that "suggested there was an imminent attack coming from a joint Hamas and Islamic Jihad squad" making preparations from an underground command center in the Al-Ansar mosque.
A few months ago, there was significant fighting in Jenin for about two days, and Conricus said during an IDF operation there, they discovered the "terrorist" tunnel system inside the mosque.
The IDF and Israel Securities Authority (ISA) also put out a statement Saturday confirming the strike on the tunnel.
The statement said Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives had been responsible for several "terror attacks" over the past few months and were plotting a new, "imminent" attack.
"Intel was recently received which indicated that the terrorists, that were neutralized, were organizing an imminent terror attack. The mosque was used by the terrorists as a command center to plan the attacks and as a base for their execution," the statement said.

Exactly.
To be a humanitarian organization, they’d first need to be human.
Which they are not.
To be a humanitarian organization, they’d first need to care about humankind.
Which they do not.

Only demon-possessed monsters could do what Hamas did, and to the most innocent and vulnerable victims. What they have wrought is beyond the worst nightmare scenario that anyone could conjure, but heartbreakingly, it’s all too real.

The comments by Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Sheikh Naim Qassem, came as Israel shelled and carried out drone strikes in southern Lebanon and Hezbollah fired rockets and missiles toward Israel. Hezbollah said six of its fighters were killed today, the highest daily toll since the violence began two weeks ago.
For Hezbollah, heating up the Lebanon-Israel border has a clear purpose, Qassem says: “We are trying to weaken the Israeli enemy and let them know that we are ready.” Hamas officials have said that if Israel starts a ground offensive in Gaza, Hezbollah will join the fighting.
Qassem says his Iran-backed group, which is allied with Hamas, already is affecting the course of the conflict by heating up the Lebanon-Israel border and keeping three Israeli army divisions tied up in the north instead of preparing to fight in Gaza.
“Do you believe that if you try to crush the Palestinian resistance, other resistance fighters in the region will not act?” Qassem says in a speech during the funeral of a Hezbollah fighter. “We are in the heart of the battle today. We are making achievements through this battle.”
[...]
Speaking about an expected Israeli ground invasion of Gaza, Qassem, says: “Our information are that the preparedness in Gaza by Hamas and resistance fighters will make (the) Israeli ground invasion their graveyard.”
Hezbollah deputy chief says terror group ‘is in the heart’ of Israel-Hamas war
BEIRUT — A top official with Hezbollah vows that Israel will pay a high price whenever it starts a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip and says that his terror group based in Lebanon already is “in the heart of the battle.”The comments by Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Sheikh Naim Qassem, came as Israel shelled and carried out drone strikes in southern Lebanon and Hezbollah fired rockets and missiles toward Israel.

I would not be surprised if Hamas was involved with schools. I saw an old video from 2006, that showed a pre-school that they had built. I don't know how K-12 works. Heck, I don't know if they even have K-12 in Gaza or if it's all private schools or what. Don't know if they have public schools. Don't know anything about it. I have heard things about text books with Hamas/Jihad stuff, but I don't know if I trust it to be accurate. (Could be propaganda) So, I will just say, it would not surprise me if Hamas is involved with schools.
Obviously, the Greek Orthodox Church was not Hamas.

Maybe they heard about these people who did evacuate? They followed the orders- and were still killed.

In Canada, there are provincial government education ministers and municipal school boards. The curriculum is set by the government with teacher input. Teachers are government employees.
I assume that Gaza is similar, where there is a standardized curriculum across all schools.
The Hamas government and Hamas terrorists cannot be separated. They share the same name by choice. In 2006, Gaza elected the Hamas government. In 2023, children who were 4 years old in 2006 are aged 21. The Hamas terrorists that tortured and murdered 1400 people in a few hours are young men who are a product of their society. They are not a fringe group, gang, or pariahs. They are a part of the society of Gaza.

NYT corrects report claiming trucks carrying aid entered Gaza without inspection
Really? Aren’t these “journalists” held to any standards? Don’t they suffer consequences when they don’t do their jobs, like the rest of the world?
Some of the bad reporting this week has, literally, caused the war to escalate. This is beyond outrageous. They have ONE job!

I was curious about this.
They may not be in charge of the schools, but they do indeed influence students by writing text books for the educational system and creating courses for them.
Older article, but here’s a link providing some info. It’s an important read.
To Shape Young Palestinians, Hamas Creates Its Own Textbooks (Published 2013)
The Hamas movement is deviating from the approved Palestinian Authority curriculum, using the new texts as part of a broader push to infuse the next generation with its militant ideology.
