According to the Al Jazeera report, the Israeli military confirmed the attack carried out on a school in Gaza City, claiming terrorists were hiding there.
“…dozens [others] wounded after the Israeli bombing of the Al-Taba’een school in the Al-Sahaba area in Gaza City,” Gaza’s civil defence agency spokesman Mahmoud Basal said in a post on Telegram.
Basal described the incident as “a horrific massacre”, with some bodies catching fire.
“The crews are trying to control the fire to retrieve the bodies of the martyrs and rescue the wounded,” he said.
Yet in another condemnation, the UN human rights chief denounced the recent statements by Israel’s finance minister Bezalel Smotrich suggesting letting Palestinians in war-ravaged Gaza starve to death, his spokesperson said Friday.
“The high commissioner (Volker Turk) is shocked and appalled by the words of (Israeli) minister, according to whom, letting two million Palestinians in Gaza starve to death could be justified and moral to free hostages,” Spokesperson Jeremy Laurence told a UN briefing in Geneva
