Israeli strike on school kills 10 in Gaza City
At least 10 people have been killed in an Israeli strike on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.
Israeli forces strike Hamama School for the second time today
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that Israeli jets have once again targeted Hamama School, which houses displaced people in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in Gaza City.
At least 10 people were reported killed in the earlier attack. The new raids completely destroyed the school and led to more deaths.
The school was targeted with three missiles while the victims from the earlier attack were being rescued.
Three bombs dropped in second Israeli attack on school
At least 31 Palestinians have killed across the Gaza Strip, 24 of them just within the past 12 hours.
Ten died in a western Gaza neighbourhood when the Israeli military dropped a bomb, partially destroying a school which had been turned into a shelter for thousands of displaced families.
At least three bombs were then dropped on the school as rescuers and volunteers inside the facility were trying to help people from under the rubble. Those three bombs destroyed the facility completely. We don’t know exactly how many people have been killed in that attack yet.
This is the tactic that the Israeli military has widely used in the past. The military drops a bomb that partially destroys facilities, namely evacuation centres, killing a number of people, and then within a few minutes, it drops other bombs.
