Israel’s military confirms attack on Jabalia school
Israel’s military claims the Hafsa al-Faluja School in Gaza’s Jabalia that it targeted was being used as a Hamas “command and control centre”.
Without sharing any evidence, the military said it targeted Hamas members who had previously planned attacks against Israel.
As we’ve been reporting, the attack has killed at least 15 people and injured others in the school, which serves as a shelter for displaced Palestinian families.
Israel has repeatedly attacked schools-turned-shelters during its war on Gaza, often giving no evidence for its claims Hamas fighters are embedded in the facilities. One of its latest such attacks targeted a Gaza City school on September 21, killing 22 people, including 13 children, six women and a three-month-old baby, according to the Gaza Government Media Office.
