Gaza: Fifteen dead and dozens injured from an Israeli strike on a school – 2024-09-29 13:45:38

The Civil Protection in the Gaza Strip and the Gaza Health Ministry announced today that 15 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school that has been converted into a shelter for displaced Palestinians, while the Israeli military said the strike targeted a Hamas command center. which was inside the school complex.

The strike targeting the al-Fallujah school in the Jamalia refugee camp in the northern part of the enclave left “15 martyrs, including children, and dozens injured,” said Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for Civil Protection.

This area is home to thousands of people displaced by the war between Hamas and the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

Almost all of the 2.4 million inhabitants of the Palestinian enclave have been displaced within the besieged Palestinian territory.

The Israeli military said in reference to today’s attack that it launched “precision strikes” against Hamas fighters in what it said was a command center. He gave no account of human casualties.

Other schools in the Gaza Strip have been targeted in recent months by the Israeli military, which accuses Hamas of hiding militants inside school buildings where thousands of Gazans have taken refuge. The Palestinians deny this charge.

The 9/11 bombing of the Al-Juni school – run by the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) – in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip sparked global outrage as six UNRWA workers were among those killed. 18 people killed in the strike.

Warning, harsh images.
