One Palestinian killed in Israeli attack on Gaza City school
The Wafa news agency is reporting that at least one person was killed and several more were wounded in the bombing.
The Israeli military issued a statement on the attack, saying it was targeting Hamas fighters who were operating a command and control complex at the school. It did not provide evidence for its claims.
Israel routinely justifies its attacks on schools-turned-shelters in Gaza claiming they are Hamas command centres. But rights experts say the Israeli attacks on shelters for displaced people violate international law, given the high number of civilian casualties.
How many command and control centers does Hamas have.... Nothing but a BS excuse to destroy all schools and hospitals.
