Israel continues to bomb Gaza homes, schools one day after massacre at Nuseirat camp

One day after Israel’s massacre at a refugee camp in Gaza, the regime’s military continued to attack homes and schools across the Gaza Strip, killing more Palestinians, including a mother and her baby who took shelter at a school in Gaza City.

On Saturday, Israeli warplanes pounded Al-Majida Wasila School which was sheltering displaced Palestinians, killing at least seven people.

According to medics, a woman and her baby were among the victims. At least 20 people were also wounded, according to the civil emergency service.

In northwest Gaza City, the Israeli military conducted a drone attack on a group of civilians, killing at least one woman and injuring several others.

Airstrikes on a home in the northern town of Jabalia also killed four members of a family, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

Israeli forces, WAFA said, also blew up buildings and burned dozens of homes in and around Beit Lahiya and fired at Kamal Adwan Hospital.

The northern Gaza has been under an even tighter siege over the past two months.

A civilian was also killed Saturday in an airstrike west of al-Nuseirat refugee camp -- a so-called safe zone that was bombarded by the regime’s forces and gunboats on Thursday.

34 perish as Israeli forces strike Gaza refugee camp declared as ‘safe zone’

The Israeli regime’s forces and gunboats conduct a ferocious attack against the Nuseirat Refugee Camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip after declaring the site to be a “safe zone” for civilians.

The attack that claimed the lives of dozens of Palestinians—most of them members of one family—has drawn widespread condemnation.

Saudi Arabia vehemently denounced Israel’s “repeated violations of international law and international humanitarian law and their continued targeting of innocent civilians.”

Riyadh urged the international community “to take serious and effective action to put an end to these flagrant and repeated violations, to preserve the lives of civilians and what remains of the credibility of international legitimacy."

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the "brutal massacre" of the people of Gaza, saying that it was “a direct result of the international community’s inaction and its failure to enforce its decisions and obligations.”

“This failure emboldens Israel to deepen its crimes and continue its systematic destruction of Gaza.”

Jordan also denounced the regime’s massacre of civilians at the refugee camp, which is an indication of the regime’s “continuation of committing war crimes.”

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) also said the “horrific” attack on the refugee camp “is considered an extension of organized terrorism and continuous genocide that has been ongoing for more than fourteen months against the Palestinian people.”

Gaza health authorities said Saturday that the death toll from more than 14 months of the regime’s genocidal war has now neared 45,000.

The toll includes 55 deaths in the previous 24 hours, according to the health ministry, which said 106,624 people have been wounded in the strip.

Humanitarian groups say thousands of Palestinian men and women are also missing under the rubble across the besieged territory, with no way to recover them or properly bury their remains, in a blatant violation of international law.
