Rights group finds no evidence of military presence at al-Tabin School
An initial investigation by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has found no evidence of a military presence at the site of the al-Tabin School massacre in Gaza that killed more than 100 people.
“According to all available information and testimonies, there were no military gatherings or command centres at the school, and it was never used for military objectives. Survivors testified that the school was providing shelter to hundreds of children whose families felt safe there,” the group said.
“The narrow layout of the school and the lack of launch pads and shelters would make it impossible for the site to be used for military operations. The building’s cramped layout and tight spaces make it unsuitable for military operations that call for planning and logistical assistance.”
So far, of the 19 names listed by the Israeli army as "eliminated terrorists" in the Tabi'een School massacre:
- 3 were killed in prior incidents.
- 3 are elderly civilians with no military ties: a school principal, a deputy mayor and a university professor.
- 6 are civilians,… pic.twitter.com/S57rFAJ8Mu

The Western media will never report this or ever call the IDF out on all their lies... CNN:
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed to CNN that it hit the compound, saying its air force “precisely struck Hamas terrorists operating within a Hamas command and control center embedded” in the building.
The military also said that before the airstrike, “numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and intelligence information.”
In later statements, the IDF said “at least 19 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists were eliminated” in the strike. They said “precise munitions” were used and disputed the damage being reported by Gaza officials.
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari also said that a top Islamic Jihad commander – Ashraf Juda – was likely at the school that was struck, but it’s not clear whether he was hit.
CNN is not able to independently verify the statements of either side in relation to the strike.
Publishing IDF lies and using bothsidesism as an excuse. No reporting just copy paste IDF statements.
Israeli military claims sending ‘large quantities’ of medical aid to Gaza
The Israeli military has said it sent today many supplies to Gaza, including a truck carrying insulin, vaccines and other medicines.
The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) organisation that coordinates aid said in a post on X that efforts will continue.
The UN and international aid organisations working in Gaza have for months reported that the Israeli military is presenting significant blocks on humanitarian aid getting to the besieged territory despite the catastrophic conditions experienced by civilians due to its relentless attacks.
Will it arrive in Gaza though...
