A disturbing incident unfolded at Mohamed Anis High School in the village of Mit Mazah, Dakahlia governorate, on the first day of the new academic year. A dispute broke out among a group of secondary school students, which escalated into a stone-throwing incident, leaving a student injured in the head. The victim's mother chose to keep her son away from school for several days to prevent further complications.
Despite her efforts, the situation took a turn for the worse when the same group of students began threatening her son online, vowing to attack him if he returned to school. The threats eventually materialized when two students, identified as Ehab and Karim, stabbed the 16-year-old boy in the back with a sharp object, leaving him with a 20-centimeter-long wound.
The victim, Mohamed, was rushed to the emergency hospital, where he underwent a two-and-a-half-hour surgery. The medical team took precautions due to the sensitive location of the injury, ensuring that the wound did not damage his kidneys or spinal cord. Mohamed's mother received a call from the school, informing her that her son was experiencing headaches, prompting her to rush to the school with her husband.
Upon arrival, she found her son lying on the ground, covered in blood. An ambulance was quickly summoned, and Mohamed was transferred to the hospital for further treatment. His mother expressed concerns that her son had not committed any wrongdoing to warrant such a violent response, demanding justice for the perpetrators.
The incident is not an isolated case, as the school has witnessed recurring problems in the past, with several students previously expelled for their involvement in violent incidents. Mohamed's mother accused the two students of attempting to assert their dominance over their peers, stating that they wanted to demonstrate their power and control within the school.
In response to the incident, the Dakahlia governorate's education authorities took swift action, with the deputy minister of education, Khaled Al-Qubaisi, ordering an investigation into the school's administration and staff. The East Mansoura Education Administration also announced that the two perpetrators would be expelled for a full academic year.
The incident has raised concerns about school safety and the need for stricter measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. The authorities have been urged to take necessary steps to ensure that schools provide a secure environment for students to learn and grow.
