Missile remains found in Gaza refugee camp bear 'Made in India' label, claims Palestine news network
Gaza: An Israeli air attack on a UN-run school sheltering Palestinians in central Gaza's Nuseirat camp resulted in the death of at least 40 people, mainly women and children, as reported by Aljazeera.com.
Meanwhile, a video posted by Palestine-based 'Quds News Network' on the micro-blogging site 'X' alleges that the remains of a missile dropped by the Israeli air force bear a 'Made in India' label.
The news network on its post claimed, " 'Made in India' reads the label on the remains of a missile dropped by Israeli warplanes at a UN shelter in Nusseirat refugee camp last night."
The purported video, which has garnered around 323k views, shows the one filming it zooming in on a portion of the rocket displaying the word "India," while also stating, "This is its official sign."
According to Wikipedia, Quds News Network is a youth-run Palestine news network, established in 2011, covering the Israel-Gaza war. However, the authenticity of the video is yet to be ascertained.
Several users reacted on the post, a user @Abhijithnair98 opined that the opposition should demand a seize on supply of arms, "The opposition must demand for stopping arms supply to Israel," the user wrote.
Another user @laughingdragon2 wrote, "On the other hand, the UL is Underwriters Laboratory so it could be that component was made in India and the rest is some other workshop from an unknown source.....Well if you check shipping, Israel has delivered explosive materials to India."
The raid on Thursday occurred following the military's announcement of a new ground and air assault in several refugee camps in central Gaza.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that thousands of displaced Palestinians were sheltering at al-Sardi school, associated with the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), when it came under attack.
The Palestinian group Hamas, governing the Gaza Strip, condemned the predawn attack as a "horrible massacre."

2nd WT20I: Shafali, spin trio do star turns in India''s seven-wicket win
Visakhapatnam (PTI): Shafali Verma hit a blistering unbeaten 69 as India made short work of a paltry target to outclass Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the second Women’s T20 International here on Tuesday.
India now lead the five-match series 2-0 after another one-sided victory, having restricted Sri Lanka to a modest 128 for 9 through a collective display of disciplined bowling from the spin trio of seasoned Sneh Rana, ably complemented by young spinners Vaishnavi Sharma and Shree Charani.
During the chase, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana (14) fell cheaply but Shafali, enjoying new found confidence after a stellar show in the World Cup final, sent the bowlers on a leather-hunt during her 34-ball knock, winning it for her team in just 11.5 overs.
The hosts have now completed back-to-back successful chases within 15 overs which speaks volumes about the unit's sky-high confidence.
Shafali's innings had 11 punchy boundaries apart from a maximum.
The floodgates opened when left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera bowled a few flighted deliveries and Shafali would step out everytime to hit her over extra cover. Her footwork against slow bowlers was immaculate whether stepping out to loft the ball or rocking back to punch or pull.
Seeing her confidence, the newly appointed Delhi Capitals skipper Jemimah Rodrigues (26 off 15 balls) also attacked as the duo added 58 runs in just 4.3 overs.
By the time Rodrigues was out trying to hit one six too many, the match as a contest was over. Shafali completed her half-century off just 27 balls and completed the formalities in a jiffy.
Earlier, off-spinner Rana, who got a look-in after Deepti Sharma was ruled out due to fever, showed her utility keeping the Lankan batters under tight leash with figures of 1 for 11 in 4 overs, including a maiden which certainly is a rarity in T20 cricket.
Charani, who made an impression during India's ODI World Cup triumph, took 2 for 23 in her quota of overs, while Vaishnavi after an impressive debut in the opening encounter, finished with 2 for 32, not letting the Islanders get easy runs in her second spell.
The last six wickets fell for just 24 runs, but what stood out during India’s bowling effort was their superb ground fielding. After a patchy show in the previous game, the improved sharpness in the field resulted in three run-outs.
Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu (31 off 24 balls) looked in good nick as she deposited length deliveries from seamers Kranti Gaud and Arundhati Reddy over the ropes but it was Rana, who kept her quiet by repeatedly pitching on good length.
Unable to manoeuvre the strike and with the big hits suddenly drying up, Athapaththu chanced her arm at another delivery in which Rana had shortened the length slightly.
Not having transferred the weight into the lofted shot, Athapaththu's hoick was pouched cleanly by Amanjot Kaur at long-off.
This was after Athapaththu's opening partner Vishmi Gunaratne (1) had offered a simple return catch to Gaud.
Hasini Perera (22 off 28 balls) and Harshitha Samarawickrama (33 off 32 balls) did stitch a stand of 44 but they could never set the tempo against the Indian spin troika.
Once Hasini offered a tame return catch off a Charani full-toss, Sri Lankans never recovered and lost wickets in a heap towards the end.
