Israeli army claims Hamas fighters struck at Gaza City school
We’ve received a statement from the Israeli army on the previously reported strike that killed at least eight people in a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City. It says the air attack was carried out against fighters in a “command and control complex” on the school premises. The statement claimed the fighters were using the Musa Bin Nusair school to “plan and conduct” attacks against soldiers in Gaza and against Israel.
Earlier, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic reported that eight people were killed in the strike on the school where displaced people were sheltering in the Daraj neighbourhood. The Civil Defence in Gaza said its crews pulled several casualties from the rubble.
