Jabalia resident asks Israelis why after deadly attack
Earlier, we reported that at least eight people were killed and 20 wounded in an Israeli air attack on the Halimah al-Saadiyah School, which sheltered war-displaced Palestinians, in northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp.
More details have now emerged.
“The two missiles targeted a tent, not even a concrete building or a tunnel,” said witness Ahmed Abd Abbo. “We came down among all the people killed and were scared, including a woman preparing milk for her child.”
He asked for an explanation from Israel’s military as to why it would attack defenceless civilians. “Isn’t the siege, hunger and destruction we’ve experienced enough?”
Gaza NGO decries deadly Israeli air strike on staff member’s home
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), a Gaza-based NGO, condemned an Israeli attack on the apartment of its administrative assistant Ihab Marwan Kamal Faisal.
The attack in northern Gaza City brought the building down on top residents, injuring Faisal, his wife and their two daughters. It killed two of his brother-in-laws, PCHR said.
Faisal lost two of his brothers during the war in October 2023 in a previous Israeli attack on a shelter for displaced people in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
“[Israeli forces] continue to target the remaining homes where civilians and displaced people have sought refuge, destroying them on top of their residents,” PCHR said.
