Witnesses reported that the assailants targeted students first before firing on those who arrived at the scene to help.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the deaths and noted a surge in settler-led violence since the beginning of the regional conflict.

Human rights groups have condemned the incident, calling it a 'grave breach' of international law and a direct assault on the right to education.

The attack has sparked widespread protests across the West Bank and prompted calls for increased international protection for Palestinian civilians.
