Israeli Airstrike on School in Gaza Kills 31 Palestinians, Including Children and Women

On Saturday, the Khadija School in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, became the target of an Israeli airstrike that resulted in the deaths of 31 Palestinians, including 15 children and eight women. The school, which also operated as a field hospital, was hit by three missiles, causing widespread casualties among displaced civilians.

The Israeli military claimed the school housed a Hamas command center, but Hamas refuted this, stating that it primarily sheltered innocent women and children. This attack is part of a larger offensive on Gaza, which has left thousands dead and injured over the past nine months. International organizations and governments have condemned Israel’s actions, accusing them of violating humanitarian laws and committing genocide.

The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to cease its military operations in Gaza, where the population is already suffering from a severe blockade of essential resources. The situation remains dire, with Gaza lying in ruins and its inhabitants facing ongoing violence and destruction.
