Several Displaced Palestinians Killed in Israel Raid on Gaza School
An Israeli air strike on a school in Gaza City has killed at least 12 Palestinians, according to civil defence officials in the besieged enclave.
Israeli military aircraft struck the Mustafa Hafez school, in Central Gaza, on Tuesday, according to Middle East Eye. Most school buildings in the besieged strip are now being used to house those displaced by Israel's war on Gaza.Two children were amongst those killed in the attack after a bomb hit the second floor of the school, civil defence spokesperson Mahmud Bassal told AFP.Around 700 displaced Palestinians were sheltering at Mustafa Hafez school, which is one of the main evacuation centres in Western Gaza City, Al-Jazeera reported.Bassal added 15 people were wounded by the Israeli attack. Others are still missing under the building’s rubble, with rescuers unable to reach them due to a lack of equipment, the civil defence announced.Tel Aviv has frequently attributed its attacks on schools, hospitals and other civilian infrastructures by claiming that it was targeting Hamas fighters. It has provided little evidence to back up any of the claims. Al-Jazeera said that Israel struck the facility with no prior warning. Victims of the attack were taken to Al-Ahli hospital for treatment, the report added.
Earlier this month, an Israeli attack on Al-Tabin school in Gaza City whilst displaced people performed dawn prayers killed at least 100 Palestinian civilians, including women and children. The Palestinian Health Ministry announced on Tuesday that at least 34 people were killed in Israeli attacks on the blockaded territory in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 40,173 killed since last October.Additionally, 92,857 have been wounded since the start of the war.#Gaza#Israel
