As Israeli tanks and infantry soldiers traverse the streets of Gaza and rockets from Hamas continue to rain down periodically on Israel, further evidence of the provocative educational material provided to Palestinian students from an early age has come to light.

In the Palestinian city of Tulkarm, a physics test crafted by a teacher and initially published by the Israeli newspaper "Makor Rishon" caught our attention. This test included questions that might be distressingly familiar to Israelis who have experienced the brunt of Palestinian terrorism. One question, for instance, delved into the topic of rocket propulsion: "Hamas launches a 50 kg missile with velocity 'I' toward occupied Tel Aviv, located 90.25 kilometers away. Calculate its velocity, maximum altitude, and the time it will take to reach occupied Tel Aviv."

In their own words:

The Palestinian & UNRWA education which helps create terrorists.

This is a very sick society & it will take generations to undo the evil that is taught to these children & the consequent evil that they will do as they grow up. pic.twitter.com/TsFnfcZMjo

However, the curriculum for students in Palestinian schools in Samaria encompasses more than just rocket science. Another question touched upon a topic that holds significance for Hamas and various terrorist organizations – martyrs. The question read: "A man carries a coffin weighing 200 newtons and measuring 2 meters in length on his shoulders during the funeral of a martyr weighing 800 newtons. The martyr's center of gravity is located 0.5 meters from the left edge of the coffin. Determine the force required by each of his legs to lift the coffin."

These types of examinations may not be surprising to those who closely monitor the educational and cultural activities within Palestinian territories, be it in the Gaza Strip or Judea and Samaria. Studies, tests, and even board games are often centered around the glorification of martyrs, acts of warfare against Israel, and the targeting of Jews.

This recent physics test from Tulkarm emerged mere days after a 30-hour-long IDF operation in the city. Israeli forces conducted this operation in the Noor al-Shams refugee camp, near Tulkarm. According to the IDF, this operation resulted in the elimination of over a dozen terrorists during exchanges of fire and an aerial strike carried out by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Tragically, the undercover Border Guard reservist First Sergeant Maxim Razinkov lost his life in the midst of these clashes.

The IDF clarified that all those targeted were in some way involved in hostile activities. Palestinians, however, described the security forces' operation as a "massacre in the Nur al-Shams camp" and claimed that it led to the deaths of 13 Palestinians, including five children. The IDF, recognizing the seriousness of the situation, has announced its intention to investigate the operation thoroughly. As of now, they have not identified any harm inflicted on those uninvolved in hostilities against Israeli troops.
