At least 7 Palestinians killed after Israeli shelling hits Gaza school
Israeli shelling struck a school in Gaza City on Friday, killing at least seven Palestinians as the occupation regime continues to violate a fragile ceasefire.
The strike hit a school near Mohammad al-Durra Hospital, east of the al-Tuffah neighborhood, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses. The facility was sheltering displaced families.
According to Quds News Network, at least seven people were killed and several others wounded, including children.
Some bodies were recovered in pieces, eyewitnesses said.
Local sources reported that the attack later expanded to a training building belonging to the Directorate of Education, located opposite al-Durra Hospital.
Israeli artillery continued to shell areas around al-Durra Hospital and al-Shuhada School, witnesses said.
Smoke shells and heavy machine gun fire were also reported. Several Palestinians were injured as the shelling targeted eastern parts of al-Tuffah.
Medical staff at al-Ahli Baptist Hospital said they received multiple casualties from Israeli shelling that struck a building housing displaced families in the same area.
Despite the ceasefire, Palestinian health authorities say Israeli attacks have continued across the Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Health Ministry said earlier on Friday that 395 Palestinians have been killed and 1,088 injured since the ceasefire began on October 10. It added that 634 bodies were recovered during the same period.
The ministry said the overall death toll in Gaza since October 2023 has risen to 70,669, with at least 171,165 people injured.
