Saudi fighter jets strike school in Taiz, Yemen, third such attack

Saudi fighter jets targeted a school in the Al-Hazah area of the Sabir al-Mawadim District in southeastern Taiz Governorate, Yemen, according to a report by Mehr News. The attack completely destroyed Al-Rawd School, marking the third time a school has been struck by Saudi forces, which Yemen's National Human Rights Institution said indicates a deliberate policy targeting the country's educational system.

The National Human Rights Institution of Yemen stated that Saudi attacks on the country have targeted more than 2,775 educational and training facilities over the course of 12 years. The institution added that attacks on schools and telecommunications towers have intensified since September 3. It strongly condemned the strike on Al-Rawd School and its complete destruction.

The report did not specify the exact date of the latest attack or provide details on casualties. The repeated targeting of educational infrastructure has raised concerns about the impact on Yemen's education system amid the ongoing conflict.

According to Mehr News, the National Human Rights Institution reiterated its condemnation of the attack, emphasizing the systematic nature of the strikes on schools. The report highlighted that the destruction of Al-Rawd School is part of a broader pattern of attacks on educational facilities in Yemen.
