Grenade Tossed Near Sakhnin Elementary School Sparks Fear

A fragmentation grenade was thrown toward a residential building adjacent to Al-Salam Elementary School in Sakhnin on the morning of the incident, while students were inside. The act caused fear and panic among students, parents, staff, and local residents.

Fadi Tarad, head of the local Parents' Committee in Sakhnin, stated that the grenade was thrown near the school without causing physical injuries. He explained that the explosion's sound created confusion and fear in the area. Tarad noted that the targeted house is close to the school and that the neighborhood is densely populated with homes and pedestrians, increasing the danger of such incidents to residents and students.

Initial reports indicate the grenade landed approximately three meters from the school. No damage occurred inside the school building, with material damage limited to the nearby house. Following the incident, many parents went to the school to check on their children and take them home. However, the school administration decided to keep the students inside and asked parents not to collect them at that time.
