Israeli Air Strike on Gaza School Kills 21 Palestinians
Gaza City, The Gulf Observer: At least 21 Palestinians, including 13 children, six women, and an unborn child, were killed in an Israeli air strike on a school sheltering displaced families in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City, according to medical sources and local reports. Several others were injured in the attack.
The school, located in the Asqoula area, had been providing refuge to hundreds of displaced people seeking safety amid ongoing hostilities. Witnesses on the ground reported that the air strike directly hit the building, resulting in devastating casualties among those sheltering inside.
Medical teams at the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City confirmed receiving the victims, with many in critical condition. The medical source highlighted the increasing toll on civilians in Gaza as the conflict escalates, with hospitals struggling to cope with the rising number of injured and fatalities.
This latest strike marks a sharp increase in the already high civilian death toll in Gaza, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis faced by displaced families across the region.
