Last week, more than 100 people were killed after Israel hit a school in Gaza City sheltering displaced Palestinians, prompting accusations of intensified attacks on educational institutions.
During a 10-day period in August alone, Israeli forces struck five schools in Gaza City, killing over 179 people and injuring many others, showcasing a grim trend.
Despite Israel's claims that schools were used by Hamas for military purposes, these assertions were contested and often unverified, leading to international scrutiny.
According to the Fourth Geneva Convention, schools are deemed civilian objects and thus should be protected; however, numerous attacks on these installations have been reported.
