Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in a tragic loss of life, with at least 15 Palestinians killed and many more injured. The strikes targeted a shelter in Shujaya, central Gaza, where the Dalal al-Mughrabi school was located. This school had become a refuge for hundreds of displaced people, but it was completely destroyed in the attack.
Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal confirmed that the strikes hit a school housing a large number of civilians. He reported that many individuals were still trapped under the rubble of the school. The Israeli military claimed that the school was being used by Hamas for military purposes, although this information could not be independently verified.
Video footage from the scene showed the chaos and devastation following the airstrikes, with donkey carts being used to transport the dead and wounded to nearby hospitals. In a separate incident in Nuseirat, two children were killed in another Israeli airstrike, further adding to the tragic toll of the conflict.
The recent Israeli military actions in Gaza have caused significant damage to infrastructure and have forced many Palestinians to seek shelter in precarious conditions. The ongoing violence in the region continues to take a heavy toll on civilians, particularly children who are caught in the crossfire.
