“Islam Dwidar’s classmates were still taking in her shocking death – the teacher weeping outside before facing the girls, her closest friend recounting how they walked to school together each day – when the news arrived about Tahreer Abu El Jidyan.

The two 15-year-old pupils at Jabaliya’s school were both shot in the head by Israeli soldiers inside their homes just a few blocks and several hours apart. Islam died almost immediately after the bullet smashed through her forehead as she baked bread with her mother in their yard on Sunday. Tahreer is still on life support at a Gaza hospital after an operation to remove shards of shattered skull from her brain.

She lies motionless, with little to suggest she is alive other than gentle breathing. Doctors do not expect her to survive”
