On January 27th, Friday night, there was a terror attack in Jerusalem (Neve Yaacov) in which seven people were murdered and three injured. The terrorist, Alkam Hayri, was a 21-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem. He drove to the neighborhood, and after the Sabbath Eve services at Ateret Avraham synagogue he opened fire at the people outside the synagogue and those nearby.
Following this attack, the Palestinian schools across the Palestinian Authority and the Gaza Strip, conducted special “educational” activities glorifying the terrorist and his actions. This is a regular reaction, seen in Palestinian schools after terror attack against Jews in Israel. After the last attack, students and teachers from kindergartens and schools took part in the celebrations which included handing out sweets, parades, ceremonies, and even putting on school plays which imitate the attack and encourage others to follow this path. Below are several notable examples of the activities that took place in Palestinian educational institutions following the attack.
