In the Gaza Strip, health officials say Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 9-year-old girl in front of her third grade class on Thursday, traumatizing students and teachers who were left in “psychological shock.” 

Ritaj Rihan was reportedly struck by a bullet without warning as she was sitting at her desk in a tent serving as a classroom in Beit Lahia. 

Video and photos show her bloodied body being rushed through the streets toward a hospital on foot, since there was no medical transport available in the area. 

She was one of four Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks across Gaza on Thursday.
