Palestinian Territory - Initial investigations by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor found no proof or indication of any military operations or combatants at the Tab’een School in Gaza City, whose prayer hall Israel targeted in a brutal massacre that claimed the lives of over 100 Palestinians.

Quite the contrary, the location turned out to be a series of narrow buildings, with sections open to each other and lacking any equipment, where dozens of Palestinian families had taken refuge after being forcibly displaced from their homes, some of which have since been completely erased from the civil registry.

The Euro-Med Monitor field and legal team carried out a survey and preliminary investigation at the Tab’een School, which was providing shelter to over 2,500 displaced people in Gaza City. The team gathered data, recorded the statements of witnesses and survivors, and surveyed the location following the attack. According to all available information and testimonies, there were no military gatherings or centers at the school, and it was never used for military objectives. Survivors testified that the school was providing shelter to hundreds of children whose families felt safe there.

    Israel also took the pictures and names of people who were killed before their terror attack on the school and claimed they were the Hamas targets they killed in the bombing.

    The Israeli army released a statement containing the names and images of 19 Palestinians in an attempt to justify the massacre. The statement claimed that the individuals were members of Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and their military apparatuses. The Euro-Med team’s preliminary investigation found that the Israeli army used names of Palestinians killed in Israeli raids—some of whom were killed in earlier raids—in its list, and took their photos from the Israeli-controlled civil registry

    Following the initial review, it was discovered that three of the 19 names listed by the Israeli army as “terrorists who were eliminated” in the Tab’eeb School massacre had already been killed in earlier Israeli bombing attacks. These three include Ahmed Ihab al-Jaabari, who was killed on 5 December 2023, Youssef al-Wadiyya, who was targeted by the Israeli military two days prior to the massacre, and Montaser Daher, who was killed on Friday? in a residential flat with his sister, one day prior to the massacre.
