Jul 08, 2024

Gaza [Palestine], July 8: AFP quoted the Palestinian Red Crescent as saying on July 7 that the bodies of six people killed in the Israeli raid had been taken to Al Aqsa Hospital in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah. A day earlier, Gaza health authorities said at least 16 people were killed and 50 injured in an Israeli airstrike on a school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in the Nuseirat area in central Gaza, where many refugees are sheltering. The Israeli military said its planes had targeted "terrorists" operating around the Al-Jawni school. In addition, Israel affirmed that it had taken precautions to minimize the risk to civilians, before targeting the gunmen who were taking advantage of the place to hide and attack Israeli soldiers. According to Al Jazeera, Hamas denied that its members were present at the school, and accused Israel of "concealing its clear goal of seeking to destroy our people".
