A trusted source informed Fes News that the Salah Eddine Al Ayyoubi Secondary School, located in the Bassatine neighborhood of Meknes, witnessed a shocking and unprecedented incident on Tuesday evening, sparking panic and fear among students and educational staff.
According to information obtained by Fes News, a first-year high school student launched a violent attack on four of her classmates using a large knife—specifically a “Genwi” type blade—resulting in injuries of varying severity among the victims.
Eyewitnesses told the outlet that one of the students sustained a serious stab wound to the abdomen. The attacker nearly inflicted another potentially fatal wound to the head, had it not been for the swift intervention of other students who managed to restrain her and prevent further harm.
The incident provoked outrage and deep concern within the school community. Parents and educational staff expressed shock at the violent act, which they say violates the sanctity of the educational environment. Many called on the relevant authorities to take urgent action to ensure the safety and security of students within schools.
Given the gravity of the incident, Fes News learned that security forces arrived at the scene promptly after being alerted. The student involved was arrested, and an immediate investigation has been launched under the supervision of the public prosecutor to determine the circumstances and motives behind the attack.
In parallel, the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of National Education in Meknes is expected to initiate disciplinary and administrative measures. Enhanced monitoring and preventive actions are also anticipated, as part of broader efforts to combat school violence and prevent the recurrence of such alarming incidents within educational institutions.
