The ministry mentioned that in the past 24 hours, Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres, killing 39 Palestinians and injuring 93 others.

5 Civilians were sitting on the sidewalk, unarmed, with nothing but cans of beans they got for their families.

They were just murdered by an Israeli Drone near Abu Hamid roundabout in central Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.

Additionally, there is no overall pass rate as the number of students is incomplete. Approximately 50,000 students from the occupied West Bank and those in some other countries (Turkey, Qatar, Romania, Bulgaria, and Russia) participated in the exams across 506 examination centers.

The ongoing Israeli genocide, now in its 297th day, has deprived around 39,000 students in Gaza of the opportunity to take the General Secondary Education Exams for 2024. Furthermore, 55 other Palestinian students were prevented from sitting the exams due to being held in Israeli prisons, according to the Ministry of Education.
