At least 3 dead following Israeli attack on Gaza school
Earlier, we reported that Israeli fighter jets had bombed the Muscat school, which was being used as a shelter for displaced people in Gaza City. The Wafa news agency is now reporting that at least three people were killed and 17 others injured in that attack.
Israeli military claims bombed Gaza schools used as Hamas centres
The Israeli military has claimed that two schools it bombed in northern Gaza were being used as Hamas “command and control complexes”.
“The command and control complexes were used by Hamas terrorists to plan and carry out terrorist operations against [Israeli] forces and the State of Israel,” it said in a statement, without providing evidence to back up its claims.
Earlier, we reported that Israeli fighter jets bombed the al-Amal Institute for Orphans in the west of Gaza City – killing at least five Palestinians – as well as the Muscat school in the city’s Tuffah neighbourhood, killing at least three people.
Both complexes were being used as shelters for Palestinians displaced in Israel’s continued bombardment of the besieged enclave.
Israel has routinely attacked schools-turned-shelters across Gaza, drawing international condemnation.
