    Found it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HVGPAaCMFHJQsxEg9

    Google says it’s a research institute but there are photos of kids on horseback?

    Why target a lone school when theres like 15 more in a dense area 6 miles to the north east? Maybe too hard to get too?

    Edit: might be a middle school? https://sites.google.com/a/sulam.co.il/daat_herum/home

    Edit: or a high school of 100

    I’ve marked what I believe is the only school in the immediate area in purple

    Edit: There may be a second school, an elementary school, above the purple arrow, in the buildings with the blue “roofs” in the top right.

        Probably easy target

        I’m guessing this is most of it. Looks like a ~7 minute drive from the border. Actually, to avoid the radar marked on the map they probably came in exactly where I put that purple arrow.

        sends a chilling message

        Actually I’m saying kinda the opposite. There’s 4 schools 7 minutes south, coulda sent a bigger message.

        I’m piecing this together as we go. Ok so I checked the distance from Sa’ad to Sderot (30 minutes by car) and while doing so I noticed something.

        There was a key on the map I didn’t understand “kibbutz portal”. Well if you were planning on driving from Sa’ad to Sderot the “kibbutz portal” is the road google maps tells you to start at.

        So they probably started here, attacked Sa’ad and then took the “kibbutz portal” to Sderot

      Given that Hamas launched this attack on a Saturday during Shabbat… sure looks like they were targeting schoolchildren at the school, eh?
