Of course he's not going to denounce it. Such attacks are popular.
Following are excerpts from an interview with Qadura Fares, former PA minister and member of the Fatah leadership, which aired on ANB TV on March 9, 2008.
Qadura Fares: The Fatah movement does not denounce this kind of operation, and the Palestinian people has the right to conduct resistance against the occupation. In addition, the Fatah movement - since its foundation and to this moment - has been employing this form of struggle. The operation was not directed against a religious school, as was reported in the media. It was directed at an institute which produces extremist leaders. By the way, most of the leaders of the Gush Emunim movement - the extremist right-wing movement that leads the settlement activity in Palestine - graduated from this institute, including Effi Eitam, that well-known extremist.
Of course, by this logic, just about any school in the Arab World is a valid target.
The Beslan Russia school massacre, where an elementary school was hijacked by muslims, where 334 hostages were killed, including 186 children, is another example of how muslims "respect" schools, "respect" students.
