Among them child from Jenin, Israel adds another 12 names of alleged targets in Gaza’s Tab’een school massacre

Gaza (Quds News Network)- The Israeli military has added another 12 names to the list of the alleged targets in the Tab’een School massacre which took place on Saturday and claimed the lives of at least 100 Palestinians. The list of names, however, included several inaccuracies, according to initial investigations.
At least 100 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were killed at dawn on Saturday after Israeli forces targeted the school, located in Gaza City’s al-Daraj district, whilst displaced people performed Fajr morning prayers.
Videos shared on social media showed charred bodies and limbs strewn across a concrete floor, as people scrambled to find their loved ones following the attacks.
Gaza’s civil defense described the attacks as a “horrific massacre” and said three Israeli rockets struck the school, including at least one MK-84 missile.
The civil defence said the rockets targeted two floors of the school, with the first striking an area inhabited by displaced women, and the second hitting the ground floor area that was used as a prayer hall.
Mohammed al-Mughair, director of the supply department of Gaza’s civil defence authority, said the school was housing around 2,400 displaced Palestinians.
The Israeli military was quick to take responsibility for the attack, claiming in a statement that it targeted a “command and control center” that “served as a hideout for Hamas terrorists and commanders.” It did not provide any evidence to back up the claim.
It claimed the prayer hall contained a “military facility” and that 31 of those killed were “terrorists” who belonged to Hamas and Islamic Jihad and were operating from school. The statement contains the names and images of the 31 Palestinians.


However, initial investigations by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor found no proof or indication of any military operations or combatants at the Tab’een School and the list of the names included several inaccuracies.
At least three people had been killed in strikes earlier in the war.
Ahmad Ihab Al-Jaabari was killed by Israel on December 5, 2023.
Montaser Daher was, along with his sister, killed by the Israeli army on Friday afternoon, a day before the massacre.
Yusuf Al-Wadiya was killed by Israel at his home two days before the massacre.
The Israeli list also included the names of three elderly people who had no military ties, including a school principal, the deputy mayor of Beit Hanoun and a university professor, as well as several Hamas opponents.

The list also included the name of a child under 12 years old, who, according to civil records, resides in Jenin in the West Bank.
Among the names in the new list is Naim Al-Jaabari, whom the Israeli army claimed to have targeted and killed in the school massacre. However, it was found that Naim is still alive.
Additionally, there is another person, Burham Al-Jaabari, listed who had previously been detained by the Israeli forces and released without any charges being brought against him. Burham is an ordinary young photographer who was arrested during the siege of Al-Shifa Hospital four months ago and later released, with the army calling him “a model Palestinian who doesn’t seek trouble.”
