In the course of routine activity in Ramallah, an IDF documentation team entered classrooms in local Palestinian schools and took photographs that illustrate the incitement against Israel taught to Palestinian school children. Such incitement is common in Palestinian educational institutions. The operation was coordinated with local authorities.

In the schools they visited-some of them under the auspices of the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA)-the team found prominently displayed posters glorifying suicide attacks, armed struggle, and leaders of the terrorist wing of Hamas.

Following are photographs taken in classrooms:

The leaders featured on the poster include A’adel Awadallah, Imad Awadallah, Mukhi Adin Sharif, Mahmud Madani, Yekhiyeh Ayash, and Imad Akal. The terrorists pictured were responsible for dispatching suicide bombers and the murder of dozens of Israelis.
