Last Updated: December 23, 2024

Shortly before 7:30 AM on Saturday, August 26, 2024, Israeli forces allegedly bombed Al Izz Bin Abdulsalam School, a school sheltering displaced persons located north of the Al Nuseirat Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing two individuals, including at least one woman. Many others, including women and children, sustained injuries, although the exact number of wounded has not yet been reported among sources.

A tweet from @Sa7atPlBreaking initially reported that “an elderly woman” was killed and a number of others were wounded, and later updated the death toll to “two martyrs.” Anadolu Agency two women were killed while “many others” were injured when an “Israeli drone” dropped a bomb. @AJEnglish mentioned that “several Palestinians, including children” were killed in the attack.

Videos depicting the aftermath of the Israeli bombing showed extensive destruction of the school, now reduced to rubble. The school had been serving as a shelter for displaced people, thousands according to @HabibeMedia, as indicated by images of balconies laden with the drying clothes and personal belongings of families who had previously fled Israeli strikes elsewhere in the Gaza Strip.

Images posted by @naba_pix show victims of the attack on the school being treated at a nearby hospital – at least one injured man with a head wound, one injured child with a head wound, another injured child with an arm injury, and a woman in a nearby hospital bed. At least one other injured man can be seen in an image posted by @HabibeMedia.

While six sources reported that Israeli shelling was responsible for the incident that killed civilians and destroyed the school, two sources, including Oman Media and Al Jazeera, attributed the attack to Israeli airstrikes.

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the bombing to Israeli forces.

The Israeli occupation forces bombed Monday morning Al-Izz bin Abdul Salam School hosting displaced Palestinians north of the Nuseirat refugee camp. The Israeli occupation forces carried on its offensive attacks against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip mainly targeting residential homes and schools in Gaza City, Khan Yunis, and in Nuseirat refugee camp on the 325 days of its genocidal war on the Strip, resulting in one confirmed death.   The Israeli occupation forces bombed Monday morning Al-Izz bin Abdul Salam School hosting displaced Palestinians north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in the center of Gaza killing a Palestinian woman and injuring many others, medical sources told Anadolu. Earlier on Sunday, Israeli occupation warplanes bombed two residential homes in Gaza City and Khan Yunis, south of the Strip, killing an unidentified number of civilians and injuring others. A medical source at the Baptist Hospital told Anadolu that the facility “received several martyrs due to an Israeli strike on a house in Al-Shuhada Street in Gaza City.” In parallel, Israeli occupation forces targeted Abu Rida house in Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis city killing and injuring an unidentified number of civilians, who were later transported by the Palestinian Civil Defense (PCD) teams to the Gaza European Hospital, per eyewitnesses. “The Israeli occupation bombed two homes, one in Gaza City and the other belonging to the Abu Rida family in Abasan Al-Kabira, Khan Yunis,” PCD reported on Telegram. Ongoing Genocide Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza. Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7. According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 40,405 Palestinians have been killed, and 93,468 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Moreover, at least 11,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip. Israel says that 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed during the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7. Israeli media published reports suggesting that many Israelis were killed on that day by ‘friendly fire’. Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children. The Israeli war has resulted in an acute famine, mostly in northern Gaza, resulting in the death of many Palestinians, mostly children. The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba. Later in the war, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began moving from the south to central Gaza in a constant search for safety. (Anadolu, PC)

Rabat – Israeli forces launched an attack on a school in central Gaza today, reportedly killing several displaced Palestinians who had sought shelter there. Identified as el-Ezz Ben Abd el-Salam School, the school is located north of the Nuseirat refugee camp.  According to reports from Al Jazeera Arabic and the Wafa news agency, children are among the casualties. The exact number of fatalities and injuries remains unclear as rescue operations continue. This is not the first time Israeli forces have targeted a school-turned-shelter in Gaza. Over the past few weeks, Israel has conducted several similar attacks, often justifying them by claiming that Hamas uses the schools for military purposes.  Meanwhile, ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Cairo concluded on Sunday without reaching a final agreement. Despite the lack of progress, talks are expected to continue at a lower level in the coming days.  According to sources cited by the Reuters news agency, neither side was willing to compromise on key proposals presented by the mediators, which included Egyptian, Qatari, and US officials. One of the main sticking points was the presence of Israeli forces in two critical areas: the Philadelphi Corridor, which is the buffer zone between Gaza and Egypt, and the Netzarim Corridor, a strategic route in Gaza.  Mediators proposed alternatives to Israel’s presence in these corridors, but both parties rejected the suggestions. Israel views control over these areas as crucial to its security, fearing that without it, arms and supplies could reach Hamas more easily. Meanwhile, Hamas insists on the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, in line with the terms of the ceasefire proposal US President Joe Biden presented in May and the UN Security Council later endorsed. Another area of disagreement involved the release of Palestinian detainees. Hamas demanded the release of specific individuals, but Israel expressed strong reservations about some of the detainees on the list. Israel proposed that if these detainees were released, they should be expelled from Gaza, but this condition was unacceptable to Hamas.
