Israel’s military forces have bombed yet another school housing displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The Gaza Media Office said on Wednesday the Israeli military struck Salah al-Din School and a nearby house in Gaza City, killing four people and wounding 18.

Israel’s military also confirmed the attack on the school building, but claimed it has targeted a Hamas command and control center inside the school.

The Palestinian resistance group has not reacted to the military’s statement yet, but it has repeatedly denied that its fighters operate from civilian facilities such as schools and hospitals.

Schools in the Gaza Strip have been used to shelter nearly two million displaced Palestinians, since Israel launched its campaign of death and destruction in Gaza on October 7.

In an attack on another school in Gaza City, the regime's forces killed at least 12 people on Tuesday.

According to an Al-Jazeera report, in the past ten months, Israeli forces have hit more than 500 schools in Gaza.

The military forces have killed more than 40,200 people in the Palestinian territory since early October, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The toll includes 50 deaths in the past 24 hours, according to ministry figures.
