An Israeli missile hit the grounds of an agricultural school in Beit Hanoun, a town in northern Gaza, killing a teacher, Hani Naim, 43, and wounding three students, according to a local resident who monitors violent activity in the area.

An Israeli Army spokeswoman said the forces “did not aim at the school, but at rocket launchers nearby.” The militants who launch rockets “exploit the civilian environment,” she said, noting that mortar shells were fired at Israel from a schoolyard in northern Gaza a few months ago.

Images from The Associated Press Television News showed the school in Thursday’s airstrike to be a series of huts in a rural area. A rocket-launching device was spotted between olive trees, indicating that militants had used the school as cover to launch attacks, according to The A.P.


And exactly who is this person:-

a local resident who monitors violent activity in the area?
