Israeli Airstrike Kills Seven Palestinians in Gaza City College Sheltering Displaced People

Gaza City, The Gulf Observer: At least seven Palestinians were killed and several others injured following an Israeli airstrike on a college building in Gaza City that was serving as a shelter for displaced people, according to a medical source. The strike occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, targeting the Namaa College building in the northwestern part of the city, where hundreds of displaced Palestinians had sought refuge.

The Palestinian Civil Defense Agency issued a warning shortly after the attack, stating that there is an ongoing threat of further strikes on the college. The agency emphasized the precarious situation of those still taking shelter in the building, urging immediate international attention.

Eyewitnesses reported that one of the college buildings was completely destroyed in the airstrike, which took place in a densely populated area. “The targeted area was crowded with residents and displaced people,” one witness told local media, describing the scene of devastation.

The strike has exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians have been displaced by ongoing violence. The international community has been urged to intervene to protect civilians and prevent further escalation of the conflict.
