At least 33 Palestinians were killed and more than 100 injured in Israeli air attacks against three schools housing displaced people in the Tuffah district of Gaza City, according to local officials.
The Gaza government’s media office said in a statement that 29 people – including 18 children – had been killed and that more than 100 had been injured when Israeli air raids hit Dar al -Arqam school on Thursday.
The school was struck with at least four missiles, a spokesman for the Civil Defense said.
Sources have told Tel Aviv Tribune that at least four people had also been killed in an Israeli attack on the Fahd school in the same district of Gaza City, which also housed inappropriate families.
The Israeli forces would also have struck the Shaaban Alrayyes school in Tuffah, although no figure on the victims was immediately available.
The Israeli army said that it had struck a command center in the city of Gaza which had been used by Hamas fighters to plan and execute attacks against civilians and Israeli soldiers. It was not clear if it was the same attack that targeted a school.
Israeli forces have regularly targeted shelters in the Gaza Strip that the house has moved families who have not been trapped in the besieged enclave, which is strongly bombed.
Hani Mahmoud, from Tel Aviv Tribune, reporting from Gaza City, said the images of the site of the bombing of the Dar al-Arqam school were “horrible”.
“Some images are too graphic to show – horrible and deeply disturbing. Many have been killed on the spot while others have succumbed to their injuries while being transported in ambulances or civil vehicles at the Al -Ahli hospital,” said Mahmoud.
“This tragedy again emphasizes that the” safe areas “described Israeli are anything but,” he added.
A spokesperson for Gaza’s emergency rescuers told Tel Aviv Tribune that the international community should intervene immediately to prevent the Israeli army from killing the Palestinians.
“What is happening here is an awakening worldwide. This war and these massacres against women and children must stop immediately. Children are killed with cold blood here in Gaza,” he said.
Medical sources have told Tel Aviv Tribune that at least 112 people had been killed in Israeli attacks against the Gaza Strip since dawn Thursday with 71 people killed in Gaza City and many others killed in attacks against the southern city of Khan Younis.
In Gaza City, 21 bodies were taken to the Arab hospital in Al-Ahli, including those of seven children.
Khan Younis officials said that the bodies of 14 people were taken to Nasser hospital – including nine from the same family. People killed included five children and four women.
The bodies of 19 other people, including five children aged one to seven and a pregnant woman, were taken to the European hospital in Gaza near Khan Younis, hospital officials said.
The government’s media office has warned that the civil defense teams are increasingly having trouble withdrawing people under the rubble without equipment and adequate vehicles and while the health sector collapses.
Israel has imposed a total siege of one month in Gaza, sealing vital passages and prohibiting the entry of all humanitarian aid, including food, fuel and medical supplies – leaving the Palestinians to Gaza with acute shortages and exacerbating an already disastrous humanitarian disaster.
Shelter search
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of flight families have sought a shelter in one of the greatest trips of the war on Thursday while Israeli forces were walking into the ruins of the most southern city of Gaza – which is part of a newly announced “security zone” that they intend to seize.
The assault of the Israeli army to capture Rafah is a major climbing of war after Israel broke up a cease-fire with Hamas on March 18 and resumed its attacks on Gaza.
The Israeli forces pushed Thursday in the city, which had served as a last refuge for people fleeing from other areas for a large part of the war.
Rafah “left. He is wiped out,” a seven -year -old father told the Reuters news agency. He was one of the hundreds of thousands of people who had fled Rafah to Khan Younis Voisin. “They overthrow what remains standing from houses and goods.”
In addition, the Israeli army published new orders on Thursday to residents in some parts of the center of Gaza, telling them to move west towards Gaza City and saying that he planned to “work with extreme force in your region”.
Many Palestinians leave the targeted area have done it on foot with some of their personal effects on their backs and others using donkey carts.
“My wife and I have been walking for three hours, covering only 1 km (0.6 mile),” Mohammad Ermana, 72 told the Associated Press News Agency. The couple, shaking their hands, each walked with a cane.
“I’m looking for shelters every hour now, not every day,” he said.
Also Thursday, the Israeli soldiers said that he was investigating the death of 15 Palestinian humanitarian workers found in a shallow tomb in March near the vehicles of the Red Crescent, an incident that caused a global alarm.
Earlier Thursday, the Ministry of Health of Hamas Gaza said that 1,163 people had been killed in the Palestinian territory since the fighting resumed on March 18 after a six-week ceasefire.
More than 50,500 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since the start of the war in October 2023 and at least 114,000 were injured.
The war began after the attacks led by Hamas against southern Israel killed 1,139 people.
