GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip reported that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have targeted 13 shelter centers, where displaced Palestinians have been seeking refuge, since the beginning of August.
This came in a press conference held by the Civil Defense in Gaza City on Saturday, hours after the IOF bombed Al-Taba’een school in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, killing at least 100 Palestinians with three missiles, including at least one of the MK-84 with a weight of 2,000 pounds.
The spokesman for Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, said that the IOF bombed two floors of the school, leading to a real massacre at dawn hours, noting that the school shelters more than 6,000 displaced people who moved to it after it had been announced as a safe zone.
Basal described the massacre as “frightening” as entire families were bombed and martyred while leaving large numbers of wounded, including children and women. Some of the martyrs were dismembered while others were charred in an awful scene, he added.
He pointed out that many dead body parts were not recognized as it was unknown to whose martyr(s) it belonged, adding that there are people who are considered missing up to the moment, despite that their families were told that they were seen in the school.
Basal explained that among the martyrs were 11 children and six women in addition to dozens of serious injuries, calling on the international community to intervene immediately to stop these massacres against defenseless civilians.
100 Palestinians were martyred and dozens were wounded in an Israeli horrific massacre at dawn Saturday that targeted Al-Taba’een school in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in central Gaza City.
The IOF has been pursuing a systematic policy of targeting schools and shelter centers to which the displaced people have resorted.
According to the Government Media Office (GMO), the recent massacres have raised the number of the targeted displaced shelter centers since the start of the genocidal war in Gaza to 173 school shelters, bringing the number of victims who were martyred in theses shelters to over 1,150 martyrs.
