More than 100 Palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli Terrorists airstrike while praying at a school, Hamas has claimed.
Local doctors are “struggling to cope” as victims of the attack on al-Tabin School, many “in pieces”, are brought in, reports our correspondent in the besieged and bombarded territory.
Hamas said the strike on the Al-Tabeen school, central Gaza, wounded 47 people. Israel Terrorists said it was targeting a Hamas command centre and 20 militants were killed.
But at a news conference in Gaza City, Palestinian Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal said that the strike hit “the upper and ground floors of the school. The upper floor included women and children and the ground floor included people who were praying. They were directly hit.”
Israel Terrorists says Palestinian militant groups embed among Gaza’s civilians, operating from within schools, hospitals and designated humanitarian zones - but Hamas and its allies deny.
Hamas said the strike was a horrific crime and a serious escalation. Izzat El-Reshiq, a member of Hamas’ political office, said in a statement that the dead did not include a “single combatant.”

There has been no evidence to back up the claims made by the Israeli terrorists military over the last 10 months when targeting civilian infrastructure and densely populated areas that are filled with displaced Palestinians.
Right after the Gaza City school was struck with three air strikes by the Israeli terrorists army, the military released a statement saying that they were targeting Hamas operatives inside both the school and the mosque.

They say that they use precise munitions in order to minimise the civilian damage and death, that this was an intelligence-based attack carried out in coordination with the Shin Bet, the internal security agency.
But pictures show a different story. The sources on the ground, the medics and the Civil Defense workers who are picking up body parts of Palestinians that have been blown to pieces tell a different story.
We also heard from an Israeli army spokesperson in English who said that the military is denying the fact that more than 100 Palestinians were killed, based on Israeli military intelligence, which again was not provided.
Save the Children: Israel commits ‘worst attack on school’ since Gaza war began
Tamer Kirolos, a regional director for Save the Children, calls Israel’s attack on al-Tabin school in Gaza City, which killed more than 100 people, the “deadliest attack on a school since last October”.
“It is devastating to see the toll this has taken, including so many children and people at the school for dawn prayers,” Kirolos said.
Many children were reported killed and injured in this morning’s attack on Gaza City, and Kirolos said “children make up around 40 percent of the population and of people killed and injured since October” in the Strip.
“Civilians, children, must be protected. An immediate definitive ceasefire is the only foreseeable way that will happen,” he added.
UN special rapporteur: Israel committing ‘genocide one school at a time’
The UN’s special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories has accused Israel of committing genocide “one school at a time”.
Francesca Albanese condemned the “world’s indifference” to the bloodshed in Gaza following Israel’s strike on al-Tabin school.
She tweeted: “Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one ‘safe zone’ at the time.
“May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honouring the most basic meaning of international law.”

The death toll from an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City school early today has risen to 80, Palestinian health authorities said.
The Israeli military acknowledged the strike on the Tabeen school, claiming it hit a Hamas command center within the school. Hamas denied that.
Fadel Naeem, director of the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, told The Associated Press that the facility received the bodies of 80 people killed in the strike.

The school, like almost all those in Gaza, has been used as a shelter for people forced to flee their homes by the war.
Hamas: Israel‘s attack on Gaza school part of ‘extermination campaign’
Hamas has released a statement condemning Israel’s killing of more than 100 Palestinians in a school in Gaza City.
The group has accused Israel of carrying out an “extermination campaign” on al-Tabin school.
In a statement, the militant group said: “The massacre perpetrated in the Gaza Strip by the hands of the Neo-Nazis in the center of Gaza City constitutes a horrific crime and represents a grave escalation in the unprecedented series of crimes and massacres in the history of wars.
In response to Israel’s claims that the school was being used as a Hamas command centre, the group said that these justifications are false and “excuses to target civilians, schools, hospitals, and refugee tents, all of which are false pretexts and exposed lies to justify its crimes”.
The statement added: “We call on our Arab and Islamic countries and the international community to fulfill their responsibilities and take urgent action to stop these massacres and halt the escalating Zionist aggression against our people and defenseless citizens.”
Israel has claimed the targeted school, which was turned into a shelter, was as an “active Hamas and Islamic Jihad military facility”.
