Israel attacks another school in Gaza, killing at least 22 people
Israel’s military forces have once again attacked a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 22 people, according to health officials.
Gaza’s Government Media Office said in a Saturday statement that the regime’s forces have committed a “horrific massacre” by bombing the Zeitoun School in the eastern part of Gaza City.
It said that 13 children, six women, and a three-month-old baby were among the victims of the attack on the school.
At least 30 people have also been wounded, including several who suffered severe burns, said the media office.
The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, released a statement saying that the massacre has been carried out “under US cover.”
Hamas said the regime’s “ongoing and unprecedented crimes,” are being “supported by military and political cover from the US administration.”
“This puts the international conscience and the global system, with all its institutions, to an ethical, humanitarian, and legal test, challenging them to confront the Zionist occupation's aggression, halt its crimes, and hold its terrorist leaders accountable.”
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) transformed its schools into emergency shelters for families forced to flee their homes in Gaza since Israel launched its genocidal war there almost one year ago.
The vast majority of the Gaza’s 2.4 million people have been displaced at least once by the regime’s savage offensive, which has so far killed over 41,390 Palestinians, according to latest figures released by the Health Ministry.
