In a tragic turn of events, Israeli forces bombed the Tabaeen School in Gaza City, targeting displaced Palestinians during dawn prayers, resulting in over 100 deaths and numerous injuries. The Gaza government media office reported that the attack overwhelmed medical personnel, citing the use of 6,000 pounds of explosives in three missiles. Eyewitnesses described a horrifying scene, with most victims being women and children, as the school, sheltering more than 2,000 displaced individuals, became a battleground.
This is the latest in a series of attacks on schools in Gaza, drawing condemnation from various parties, including Hamas, who called it a “horrific crime”. The ongoing violence has left thousands dead or wounded, with many missing, adding to the already dire situation in Gaza. Despite international outcry and a UN resolution for a ceasefire, Israel continues its offensive, facing accusations of genocide in ongoing clashes.
The situation in Gaza remains critical, with casualties mounting and the population facing famine and displacement on a massive scale. The world watches as the conflict escalates, demanding an end to the bloodshed and a path to peace for the people of Palestine.
