Israeli attack on Gaza school leaves over 100 dead: Palestinian news agency

More than 100 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli attack on a Gaza school housing displaced people, the official Palestinian news agency reported on Saturday (10), while the Israeli army said it had hit a Hamas command center.

“Israeli strikes targeted displaced people as they performed Fajr (dawn) prayers, leading to a rapid increase in the number of casualties,” the Hamas-run Gaza government media office said in a statement.

In its statement, the Israeli military said its air forces “attacked the command and control center that served as a hideout for Hamas terrorists and commanders.”

“The IAF accurately struck Hamas terrorists operating inside a Hamas command and control center embedded in the Al-Taba’een school and located next to a mosque in Daraj Tuffah, which serves as a shelter for Gaza City residents.”

“Prior to the strike, numerous measures were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precision munitions, aerial surveillance and intelligence,” he added.
