Al Jazeera reports more from Euro-Med on the victims of Israel’s assault in the past week.

The rights group said Israeli attacks killed two government officials working in the education sector.

They are Jihad al-Agha, the head of the supervision department at the East Khan Younis Education Directorate, who was killed in a raid targeting his home on March 23 along with his wife, child, and three daughters, and Manar Abu Khater, the director of education in East Khan Younis, who was killed along with two of his sons in an Israeli air strike on Khan Younis on March 24.

“An individual does not lose their civilian status or become a legitimate target for attack simply because they hold an administrative or civilian position within a governmental or organisational structure, unless they are actively and consistently engaged in hostilities, which was not the case in the situation of al-Agha or Abu Khater,” the group said.

Gaza’s Government Media Office has previously said Israel killed four more senior officials on Tuesday, March 18.

They are Issam al-Dalis, the head of government public works; Ahmed al-Hatta, undersecretary of the Justice Ministry; Mahmoud Abu Watfa, undersecretary of the Interior Ministry; and Bahjat Abu Sultan, director general of the internal security service.
