On Saturday morning, one of the deadliest attacks since the start of the invasion of Gaza occurred when up to 100 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school.
The attack took place during Saturday morning prayers, and witnesses say that many of those killed were children, women and the elderly, and that many were asleep when the attack took place.
The exact number of casualties is somewhat unclear, with Palestinian health officials saying more than 60 people were killed, while rescue services and aid organizations on the ground say around 100 were killed.
– The death toll is now between 90 to 100 and there are dozens more wounded. Three Israeli rockets hit the school that was housing displaced Palestinians”, emergency services spokesman Mahmoud Basal told AFP, describing the events as a “terrible massacre”.
“Hamas command center”
The Israeli army confirmed the attack but claimed, as usual, that it was targeting Hamas and that the school was being used by the terrorist group as a “command and control center”. However, no supporting evidence was provided.
The israeli airforce “precisely struck Hamas terrorists operating within a Hamas command and control center embedded”, the IDF claims.
