Civilians Killed in Gaza: Airstrike on School Shelter in Al-Tuffah; 25 Martyrs and Dozens Injured, Including Women and Children
An Israeli airstrike on a civilian shelter inside a school in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least 25 Palestinians and injuries to dozens more, primarily women and children. Palestinian media reported that the Israeli fighter jets deliberately targeted the shelter, which had been used as a temporary refuge for displaced families.
Weezharoz-Kabul–The attack occurred hours ago and is being denounced as a clear violation of international law.
According to reports, Israeli jets fired multiple rockets at the school building in the Al-Tuffah area, which had been repurposed as a shelter for dozens of families seeking refuge from ongoing conflict.
Medical sources in Gaza have highlighted that more than 70% of the victims were children under the age of 12 and women.
This attack comes at a time when the civilian death toll in Gaza has surpassed 34,000 since the recent Israeli military operation began.
The United Nations had previously warned that 152 schools in Gaza had either been destroyed or damaged due to Israeli airstrikes.
A spokesperson for the Gaza Ministry of Health condemned the attack as a “blatant war crime,” criticizing the international community for its inaction in halting the ongoing violence.
The community continues to witness systematic violations of human rights by the occupying Israeli regime without any concrete steps being taken to stop the bloodshed.
Al Jazeera network released harrowing images from the site of the incident, showing rescuers pulling lifeless bodies of children from the rubble and the complete destruction of the school building.
This attack coincides with Israel’s escalation of airstrikes on residential areas in Gaza, under the pretext of “destroying resistance groups.”
Human rights organizations have repeatedly warned against the targeted use of heavy weaponry against civilians, but Israel continues to violate international laws with the support of Western political and military powers.
The attack on the Al-Tuffah school is not a “military mistake” but part of Israel’s deliberate strategy to instill fear and psychological exhaustion within the Palestinian community.
As long as international bodies remain silent and adhere to the West’s double standards, the killing of civilians in Gaza will remain a “bloody daily occurrence.”
