Impunity keeps escalating the lies and atrocities. Israel flatly claims the refugees were terrorists, because they see UNWRA as a terrorist organization.

Israeli military admits to attack by jet fighters on UNRWA school shelter

The Israeli military has confirmed that it bombed a UN school shelter in what appears to be the same attack that has killed at least 29 people in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Israel’s military said its fighter jets attacked a UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) school that was being used by the “terrorist organisation Hamas”.

“The terrorists directed terror from the area of ​​the school, using it as a civilian location and shelter. In the attack, terrorists were eliminated who were planning to carry out attacks and to promote terrorism against our forces in the immediate time frame,” the Israeli military said in a post on X.

The military added that “many steps were taken to reduce the chance of harm to those not involved”.

Earlier we reported that many women and children had been killed after an Israeli military strike on a school, which was housing thousands of displaced Palestinians in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
