Recent Israeli air strikes on a school in Gaza have left over 100 people dead, sparking international condemnation against Israel. The attack on the Al-Tabeen school and mosque during dawn prayers has drawn criticism from around the world, with calls for a ceasefire and peace talks increasing.
The Israeli military claimed the strike was on a “military facility” housing Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, which has been denied by Hamas. The attack has resulted in a significant number of civilian casualties, including women and children.
The international community has called for an urgent investigation into the incident and urged Israel to respect humanitarian law. However, Israel’s media claims the strike was a response to armed activities in the school shelter.
‘Intolerable’ toll
The attack has left a devastating impact on the community, with numerous casualties reported, mainly among women and children. The call for an immediate ceasefire and protection of civilians has grown louder, as the conflict continues to escalate.
Measured response
Amidst the ongoing conflict, negotiations are set to resume soon to pursue a long-sought truce and a hostage-release deal. However, fears of a broader war loom as regional tensions rise.
