Just unbelievably horrible
Families trapped as fire rips through bombed school: Report
Palestinians are trapped inside a bombed school in Gaza City as a fire rips through the building, according to Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat. Shabat said that rescue teams are unable to help those trapped by the flames as the Israeli military has cut water access to the area.
Earlier, we reported that at least 100 people have been killed following an Israeli attack on the school in the centre of Gaza City. Women, children and the elderly are reported to be among the dead.
The Israeli military claims the school was being used as a “Hamas headquarters” and it took measures to reduce civilian casualties.

Israeli rockets hit during prayers
Three rockets hit the school as people were attending morning prayers inside the building, which is used as a shelter for displaced people, according to reports from residents of Gaza.
‘Deliberate’ attack during morning prayers shows nothing ‘can limit Israeli military’
Even from an aerial view, it’s clear that people were doing nothing but performing prayers. So, it’s a deliberate attack.
Not only is it deliberate against civilians but it is a violation of people’s religious rites as they were in a time considered sacred time while performing prayers at this particular time of the day, in the early hours.
It gives an indication that there is nothing that can limit the Israeli military from continuing its attacks.
