After three years of war, the announcement of the high school (Tawjihi) results in the Gaza Strip was not just a date students awaited to know their grades, but it turned into an exceptional moment to reclaim joy and life, amid displacement tents, shelter centers, and what remains of homes burdened with destruction and memories.

In the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, ululations rose among the tents, and tears of joy mixed with memories of bombardment, displacement, and loss of relatives and friends.

Students and their families celebrated their results under conditions unlike any previous academic year, after undergoing a harsh educational journey during which schools closed, study venues changed, and tents and shelter centers turned into alternative learning spaces.

A Story of Success

Amid these scenes, the story of triplets from the Musa family stood out, who managed to turn years of war, disability, and displacement into an inspiring success story. Abdullah Hassan Musa scored 94.6%, Nada scored 94.4%, while their sister Sama achieved 97.5%, an exceptional family achievement, especially since two of the three siblings are disabled.

Sama Musa told Sky News Arabic that their educational experience was complex and harsh, but she did not allow circumstances to become an obstacle to their dream. She was not studying for herself alone, but was helping and supporting her siblings in their studies, in a journey where daily diligence mixed with great familial and human responsibility.

According to their mother Hind Muhanna, her children's journey began after 12 years of marriage, before facing double challenges with two disabled children, then the war came to add new suffering to their lives.

She explained that the family was forced to displace and move, while the electric vehicles her children depended on for mobility were destroyed, along with the collapse of the educational process and school closures, making access to education a daily challenge.

After the ceasefire on October 10, 2025, the family hired teachers to help the children catch up on missed lessons and compensate for long months of educational disruption.

The mother said the family did everything possible until her children reached the day of results announcement, bearing the fruit of years of patience and perseverance.

But the joy of success was not separated from the pain of war; the family dedicated their children's success to their uncle, Dr. Ahmed Musa, who was arrested by the Israeli army from Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis in February 2024.

Joy of a Dispersed Family

In another story, student Sama al-Masri, who scored 95% in the scientific stream, dedicated her success to her family that war had separated, after she was forced to displace from Beit Hanoun in the north of the Strip to its south, settling in a shelter center in Khan Younis.

Al-Masri said she entered high school at the beginning of the war, finding herself facing an unprecedented educational reality: schools closed, displacement locations changed, but she continued studying in the tent, the street, and the hospital, using available books and limited means, clinging to the dream of success.

She added that despite the cruelty of the war, it pushed her to rely on herself, organize her time, and continue learning despite the bombardment, displacement, and fear.

For her, success was not just a grade, but a message affirming that the people of Gaza are capable of continuing life despite the destruction.

Between triplets who defied disability and war, and a student who studied in a tent, the street, and the hospital, the high school results in southern Gaza Strip appeared to be more than announced numbers; they turned into a new testament to the Palestinians' ability to hold onto education and life, and to transform a moment of joy, even if temporary, into a space to confront sorrow and restore hope.
