At least 29 Palestinians have been killed and several others injured in Israeli airstrikes targeting a school sheltering Palestinians in the town of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. This information has been shared by Palestinian sources. This is the fourth such incident in four days. Hamas has blamed Israel for the deaths.
When Israel launched the airstrikes, some people were living in tents on the school campus. Security sources told Xinhua news agency on Tuesday that Israeli jets fired missiles targeting the gate of al-Awda school. Hundreds of displaced people are living in the city of Abasan al-Kabeera, east of Khan Yunis.
According to Xinhua News Agency, videos shared by Palestinian activists on the social media platform Facebook show dozens of bloodied bodies lying on the ground.
According to information received from medical sources, at least 29 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, while dozens of people have been injured in this attack. Among the dead are women and children.
Sources told Xinhua news agency that the number of displaced people is high in the area, so the death toll could rise.
The Israeli military has not yet commented on the incident. This is the fourth attack in the last four days by Israel on a school building being used as a shelter in Gaza. Israel has issued new orders to evacuate parts of Gaza and Khan Younis, and this Israeli attack comes at a time when it is in danger. Due to this, thousands of people have to flee from there. Three major hospitals have also had to close due to these attacks.
