10 killed as Israel bombs school housing displaced Palestinians in Gaza: Medics
At least 10 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli strike on another school-turned-shelter in the Gaza Strip, as the occupying regime continues its genocidal war on the besieged enclave.
Israeli raids targeted the Abu Assi School, which is currently housing displaced people in Al-Shati’ camp, west of Gaza City on Saturday, leaving 10 Palestinians dead and wounding at least 20 others, medics said.
Rescue operations are ongoing at the UN-run school, Palestinian health officials said, adding that there may still be people trapped under the rubble.
The health officials also noted that at least 30 people have been killed by Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Saturday.
Israel has been bombing schools sheltering thousands of displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, leaving hundreds of Palestinians killed or injured.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has said that the Israeli military has targeted 69 percent of school buildings used as shelters for displaced people in the blockaded territory.
Later in the day, the Israeli military claimed it had intercepted two rockets fired at the occupied territories from the northern Gaza Strip.
The launches show the ability of Palestinian resistance groups to fire rockets into the northern occupied territories despite more than 13 months of Israel’s brutal war on the territory.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed more than 43,799 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 103,000 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
