No one was hurt in the pre-dawn attack, but eyewitnesses said large parts of the school were damaged by an RPG mortar, as well as other explosive devices.
This is the second time that the school has come under attack in the past few months. The previous attack occurred in April, when arsonists set fire to the school building in the northern Gaza Strip.
No group claimed responsibility for Thursday’s attack, which came only hours after several Palestinian groups called on Palestinians to kill Bush.”

“Bush Appeals for ‘Year of Creation of Peace’ in Mideast”
Thursday, January 10, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “RAMALLAH, West Bank — President Bush on Thursday predicted that a Mideast peace treaty would be completed by the time he leaves office. He said he’s convinced that both Israeli and Palestinian leaders understand “the importance of democratic states living side by side” in peace.
“I am confident that with proper help, the state of Palestine will emerge.” Bush told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. “And I’m confident when it emerges, it will be a major step toward peace. I am confident that the status quo is unacceptable, Mr. President, and we want to help you.”
Abbas, standing alongside Bush, called on Israel to fulfill its commitments to a Mideast peace plan, and said he hopes “this will be the year for the creation of peace.””
