Gaza (Union)
Seven Palestinians were killed and several others injured yesterday in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a school housing hundreds of displaced people in the Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City. Mahmoud Basal, spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip, said that “Israeli aircraft bombed the Kafr Qasim school, which houses hundreds of displaced people in the Shati refugee camp.” He added: “The bombing resulted in the martyrdom of seven Palestinians and the injury of several others, some of whom were in critical condition.”
This is the second incident of its kind in less than 24 hours, as the Israeli army targeted a school housing hundreds of displaced people in a “neighborhood” southeast of Gaza City the day before yesterday, killing 22 Palestinians and wounding 30 others, most of them children and women. This brings the number of displacement and shelter centers targeted by the Israeli army in Gaza since October 7 to 182, according to data from the government media office.
Since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza, Palestinians have been facing repeated displacement, as the Israeli army orders residents of residential areas and neighborhoods to evacuate them in preparation for bombing, destroying and penetrating them. During their displacement, Palestinians are forced to seek refuge in schools or the homes of their relatives or acquaintances, and some set up tents in the streets, schools or other places such as prisons and amusement parks, under difficult humanitarian conditions where there is no sufficient water or food, and diseases spread.
