In a tragic incident, at least 25 civilians were killed and many more injured in an Israeli shelling of a school in Jabalia, Gaza. The attack targeted the Abu Hussein School in the Jabalia refugee camp where displaced people had gathered.
The Israeli army claimed that the school was being used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad members. This attack is part of Israel’s ongoing offensive in Gaza, which has seen civilian facilities like schools and hospitals being targeted.
This recent offensive, the third in northern Gaza since last year, has led to over 300 deaths and a dire humanitarian crisis with severe shortages of essentials like food and medicine.
Despite calls for a cease-fire, Israel continues its brutal onslaught on Gaza, leading to widespread displacement and suffering among the population. The situation has reached a point where Israel is facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
