The Israeli Army has argued that Hamas “terrorists” were hiding in this UN Agency school in the center of the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Government, however, has assured that many of the victims were civilians taking refuge at the school.
At least 35 people have been killed and dozens injured in an Israeli attack on a school of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) in the Nuseirat refugee camp (central Gaza Strip), as confirmed by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Government.
The Israeli Army has confirmed the attack and has indicated that the school had a complex belonging to the Islamist group and that “terrorists” who participated in the October 7 attack, who were eliminated, were hiding there. that troops from both Hamas and the Islamic Jihad operated in the compound and belonged to the Nukhba forces, Hamas’ elite unit.
The Gaza Government, however, has assured that many of the victims were civilians taking refuge in the school and has described the attack as a “horrible massacre” and a “crime that shames humanity.” In contrast, Israel has assured that “measures were taken to reduce the risk of harm to uninvolved civilians.”
The attack has also caused dozens of injuries, according to the Gaza government, who have been transferred to the Martyrs of Al Aqsa hospital in Deir al Balah, the only one available to care for more than a million people in the center of the Strip.
Israel yesterday intensified its ground and air operations in the center of the Strip, taking “operational control” of the Bureij refugee camp and eastern Deir al Balah with attacks that killed at least 75 people.
Eight months of war have left more than 36,580 dead and 83,000 injured, with some 10,000 missing under the rubble, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
