The ministry also said the killing of innocent students and children in Gaza, the bombing of their homes, and the targeting of their families reveal Israel's persistence in killing, stressing that it will spare no effort in holding the Tel Aviv regime accountable for the crimes through international political, diplomatic and legal forums
It further called on international human rights organizations and education ministries around the world to expose these violations and put pressure on Israel to stop these crimes, which constitute a clear violation of all international norms, conventions and laws.

Israeli settlers continue provocations, storm al-Aqsa, Palestinian cemetery
In another development on Monday, dozens of Israeli settlers stormed a Palestinian cemetery close to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds, performing provocative dances and Talmudic rituals in the area.
According to eyewitnesses, the settlers first stormed al-Ghazali Square outside the holy site near the Mosque’s Asbat Gate (Lion’s Gate) and performed Talmudic rituals there, before breaking into the Bab al-Rahma graveyard.
The Israeli settlers' raid of the cemetery and the vicinity of the Bab al-Asbat came after they failed to force their way into the Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Bab al-Maghariba for the second day in a row.
Tensions are simmering in Jerusalem al-Quds. Hundreds of Palestinians have been wounded after Israeli forces launched a heavy-handed crackdown on Palestinian worshipers at al-Aqsa Mosque during the final days of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
The escalation came ahead of the planned forced expulsions of dozens of Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, where illegal Israeli settlers are looking to take over the properties of Palestinian families.
The violent crackdown by Israeli forces against Palestinians in Jerusalem al-Quds has sparked global concern.
