Israeli strike on Gaza school kills more than 100: Report
Gaza: Over 100 Palestinians lost their lives and dozens were injured in an Israeli strike on a school in the Daraj neighbourhood of Gaza City that was sheltering displaced individuals on Saturday, according to Gaza's civil defence agency.
"The Israeli strikes targeted the displaced people while performing Fajr (dawn) prayers, a matter led to a rapid increase in the number of casualties," the Hamas-run Gaza government media office said in a statement, as quoted by Reuters.
Mahmud Bassal, a spokesperson for Gaza’s civil defense told AFP news agency that the death toll is now between 90 and 100, with dozens more wounded. He described the incident as a "horrific massacre," noting that some bodies had caught fire after three Israeli rockets hit the school.
However, the Israeli military acknowledged the strike, claiming without evidence that it hit a Hamas command centre within the school.
The attack comes two days after Israeli strikes targeted two schools in Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of over 18 people.
