Three killed in Israel’s latest attack on school-turned-shelter in Gaza
We’ve been covering an Israeli attack on the Khaled bin al-Walid school in the Nuseirat refugee camp where displaced Palestinians are sheltering. Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are now reporting that three people were killed in the attack and several others wounded.
The bombing comes less than 24 hours after at least seven Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on the Kafr Qasim School in the Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City.

Israel claims Nuseirat school was a Hamas command centre
The Israeli military claimed responsibility for the deadly attack on the Khalid bin al-Walid school in Nuseirat, saying it had struck a Hamas control and command centre. It did not provide any evidence for the claim.
As we’ve been reporting, at least three Palestinians were killed in the attack.
Israel regularly attacks schools-turned-shelters in Gaza claiming they are Hamas command and control centres. In the month of August alone, Israel attacked at least 16 schools, killing dozens of displaced Palestinians, in assaults the UN human rights office said could amount to war crimes because of the disproportionate nature of the bombings as well as the high civilian death toll.
