Schools run by the Palestinian Authority have incorporated the October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel into math lessons and used it as inspiration for speeches delivered at school assemblies, Palestinian Media Watch first reported, and The Jerusalem Post independently verified on Tuesday.

A teacher at the PA-administered Al-Kuwait Primary Mixed School assigned students to write equations based on the attacks just one week after the massacre, according to a post published on the school’s social media account.

The nine-year-old students came up with the following equations: “At least 150 Israelis were killed in one day. What was the number killed in nine days?”; “Al-Qassam Brigades fired 150 rockets at Israel for an hour. How many rockets did they fire in nine hours?”; “Al-Qassam Brigades sent 150 Jihad fighters to [each of] nine settlements in Israel. How many Jihad fighters entered [all] the settlements?” and “Al-Qassam Brigades launched 150 rockets daily at the occupation’s settlements. How many rockets were launched over nine days?”

Fadlallah also called for coordinated action against Israel over what he described as its crimes in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank.
