Israeli settler attacks on the Hammamat Al-Maleh School

West Bank, Jordan Valley, Hammamat al-Maleh 21 April, 2026
On April 20, at 18:00, a group of settlers stormed the Al-Maleh Bedouin community in the northern Jordan Valley (Tubas governorate), and demolished with bulldozers the Al-Maleh Basic School and the surrounding housing, after all the families had previously been displaced from it under threat. Meanwhile, Azmi Balawneh, the Director of Education in Tubas, stated that approximately 70 students, from kindergarten through fourth grade were receiving their basic education at the targeted school. But due to the settler attacks that caused families to flee the area, the number of students dwindled to 30, then to 16, before the school was completely emptied after all the families were displaced. The school employed seven staff members, including the principal, five teachers, and a services courier. The settler attacks included vandalism, destruction of facilities and obstructing the access of its students. The demolition of the school comes amid mounting challenges facing the education sector in Palestine, particularly in highly threatened areas such as the northern Jordan Valley. These attacks negatively impact the learning environment and disrupt its stability and continuity.

On April 21, 2026, at 10:50, Israeli forces stormed the village of Al-Mughayir, where confrontations took place with citizens while they were on patrol, and fired stun grenades toward citizens under the pretext that they had been stoned. At 12:30, a group of settlers attacked the boys’ school in the village of Al-Mughayir and opened fire on citizens as they were trying to reach the school to evacuate students, as well as toward the school classrooms, which led to the death of two citizens (one of whom was a child student) and the wounding of three citizens. Two citizens were killed, one of them a school student, and three others were injured on Tuesday afternoon by settlers’ bullets. The student Aws Hamdi Al-Naasan (14 years old) and the young man Marzouq Abu Naim (32 years old) were shot dead, and three others were injured by live bullets. It should be noted that the father of the child Aws was martyred by colonial bullets in 2019. According to one of the paramedics, at least three settlers participated in the attack and were deliberately shooting at children trying to flee the classrooms. They shot from the hill surrounding the village, at a distance of 50 meters from the school and overlooking it, which enabled them to target the children and aim their bullets with accuracy approaching sniping. One of the wounded, Atallah Abu Alia, narrates how the occupation forces intervened by storming the village after the school shooting incident to provide protection for the settlers. He says that he was going to the mosque for the noon prayer, and when he heard about the settlers’ attack, he headed toward the school. As he approached it, a military vehicle belonging to the occupation army stopped next to him, and without warning, a soldier shot him, wounding him in the leg. According to some accounts, Israeli forces were still present during the settlers’ shooting, and a soldier is reported to have shot a resident in the leg as he was running toward the school after the initial gunfire. Later in the day, Israeli armored vehicles blocked the funeral and fired tear gas grenades. **Perpetrators:** The name of a well known settler, Shmuel Vandy, spreaded quickly on the social medias, **but it is a fake news**. The identity of the real gunman was not released and The Israeli military identified him as a civilian reservist, who was not mobilised at the time. Despite the lethal outcome, no arrest has been made, though the military claims an investigation is underway into reports of "rock-throwing". **Names of the martyrs:** - Jihad Marzouk Abu Naim, 32 - Aws Hamdi Al-Naasan, 14 The 3 wounded as a result of gunfire by settlers during their attack on a boys’ school in the village of Al-Mughayir are Ibrahim Ahmed Al-Naasan, Atallah Muhammad Abu Alia, and Muhammad Riyad Abu Alia.

An ambulance team from the Islamic Health Authority was targeted while attempting to rescue wounded individuals, resulting in the martyrdom of one paramedic, while the second paramedic remains missing. When a second ambulance from the Islamic Health Authority headed to rescue the paramedics, it was also targeted, wounding three paramedics. In a third rescue attempt, two ambulances from the Risala Association and Nabatieh Ambulance headed to the scene and were targeted as well, resulting in the martyrdom of two paramedics and the wounding of three others.

This is a flagrant violation that demonstrates complete disregard for all norms and principles stipulated by international humanitarian law.
