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

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

Students and their families celebrated their results under conditions unlike any previous school year, after they had endured a harsh educational journey in which schools closed, study locations changed, and tents and shelters turned into alternative learning spaces.

A Success Story

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

Sama Musa told Sky News Arabia that their educational experience was complex and harsh, but she did not allow circumstances to become an obstacle to their dream. She did not only study for herself but also helped and supported her siblings in their studies, in a journey where daily diligence blended with great family and human responsibility.

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

She explained that the family was forced to flee and move, while the electric carts her children relied on for mobility were destroyed, coinciding 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 interruption.

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

But the joy of success did not separate 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, which was separated by the war after she was forced to flee from Beit Hanoun in the north of the Strip to the south, settling in a shelter center in Khan Younis city.

Al-Masri said she entered the Tawjihi stage 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 whatever books and limited resources were available, clinging to the dream of success.

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

For her, success was not just a grade but a message affirming that Gaza's children can continue life despite destruction.

Between three triplets who overcame disability and war, and a student who studied in the tent, street, and hospital, the Tawjihi results in southern Gaza Strip appeared as more than announced numbers; they turned into a new testament to Palestinians' ability to cling to education and life, and to transform a moment of joy, even if temporary, into a space to confront sorrow and regain hope.
