Israel strikes another school in north Gaza; two children among victims
An Israeli airstrike on a school housing “thousands of displaced people” has killed eight people, including two children and two women, in northern Gaza’s Jabalia town.
Gaza’s civil defense agency said Saturday that rescue workers recovered the bodies of eight people from under the collapsed building of the school.
The airstrike also wounded 30 people, including 19 children, said agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal.
The Israeli military admitted it had targeted the facility. It claimed that the building was being used as a “command-and-control center” by Hamas.
Hamas has not commented on the statement yet, but it has repeatedly denied that its fighters operate from civilian facilities such as schools and hospitals.
This was Israel’s latest attack on school buildings housing displaced people in Gaza.
In September, the regime’s military targeted the United Nations-run Al-Jawni school in central Gaza, killing at least 18 people. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA said at the time that six of its staff were among the victims of the attack.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, the regime’s forces have killed at least 32 Palestinians across the besieged enclave in the past 48 hours, taking the overall death toll to over 46,500.
