Israel Kills 63 Palestinians in Gaza, Including Aid Seekers and Displaced Families
Israeli airstrikes target schools, tents, and aid distribution points across Gaza, killing women, children, and civilians awaiting humanitarian relief.
Watan-Since early Thursday, the Israeli army has killed at least 63 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including children, women, and 31 people waiting for humanitarian aid.
Medical sources and eyewitnesses said that the Israeli attacks targeted homes, tents housing displaced people, and gatherings of civilians awaiting aid in the northern, central, and southern parts of the Strip.
Twelve Palestinians, including children and women, were killed and others injured when Israeli aircraft bombed the “Mustafa Hafeth School,” which was sheltering displaced people in central Gaza City at dawn, according to a medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital.
Eyewitnesses said the airstrike caused massive destruction to the school and ignited a large fire, with “the bodies of the martyrs transported to the hospital completely charred.”
Two other Israeli strikes destroyed the “Fahd Al-Sabah School,” also sheltering displaced individuals in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of eastern Gaza City, after a warning was issued to evacuate, according to witnesses.

About an hour later, 24 Palestinians waiting for aid were killed and dozens injured by Israeli shelling that targeted gathering points near “Al-Nabulsi Roundabout” and the “Netzarim Corridor” south of Gaza City, according to a medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital.
A medical source added that a woman was killed and others injured in an Israeli strike on the home of the Abu Al-Qaraya family in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of eastern Gaza City.
In southern Gaza, medical sources reported that 26 martyrs arrived at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, including 7 people who were waiting for aid in the Al-Tahlia area in the south.
They explained that Israeli airstrikes targeted tents housing displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis.
According to the Palestinian Civil Defense in a statement, fires broke out in several tents and completely consumed them before being brought under control.
