Israeli Airstrike on Gaza School Kills Dozens, Mostly Women and Children
New Massacre in Central Gaza as Israeli Forces Bomb School Sheltering Displaced Civilians.
Watan-Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre on Tuesday, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries following an airstrike targeting a school sheltering displaced people in central Gaza.
According to Palestinian medical sources, 17 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in the Israeli bombing of Abu Hmaysa School in Al-Bureij refugee camp. The majority of victims were children and women.
The spokesperson for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital confirmed that many victims remain under the rubble and noted that most of the wounded are in critical condition.
He added that the situation in the hospital is catastrophic due to the massacre in Al-Bureij, stating that doctors are forced to “prioritize” patients based on severity of injury due to a severe lack of medical supplies. He also said that operating rooms lack the necessary medications to treat the large number of massacre victims.

Earlier, 13 more Palestinians were killed in continued Israeli air and artillery strikes across the Gaza Strip.
According to medical sources and eyewitnesses, residential areas in the north, center, and south of the Strip were hit.

Drone Strike, Artillery Shelling, and Demolitions Deepen Gaza’s Humanitarian Catastrophe
Two more Palestinians died from wounds sustained in previous Israeli attacks.
Eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City were bombed by artillery, and Israeli forces continued demolishing residential buildings in northern Gaza. A robot was used to blow up structures in the Al-Sheema area north of Beit Lahia.
With American support, Israel has been committing acts of genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving over 171,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, the majority being women and children, and more than 11,000 still missing.
