US EditionUS-Made Bombs Used in Deadly Israeli Strikes on Gaza Schools, HRW Says
GAZA STRIP, AUG 7 – Human Rights Watch found US-made bombs used in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza schools sheltering 4,000 displaced Palestinians, killing at least 49 civilians in two major attacks.
- Since October 2023, Human Rights Watch documented that Israeli authorities have carried out hundreds of strikes on schools sheltering displaced Palestinians, killing hundreds of civilians in Gaza.
- On July 24, 2025, +972 Magazine and Local Call reported that the Israeli military set up a strike cell to identify schools as 'centers of gravity,' despite Human Rights Watch found no evidence of military targets.
- The Occupied Palestinian Territory Education Cluster reported that 97 percent of Gaza’s 564 school buildings have sustained damage, with 518 directly hit requiring full reconstruction.
- Recent Israeli strikes on schools-turned-shelters are part of an offensive demolishing Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, displacing hundreds of thousands and disrupting education for children, parents, and teachers.
- The US government’s arms provision to Israel used in school strikes makes it complicit in violations, Human Rights Watch called on halt to prevent serious international humanitarian law breaches.
