During the evening of August 6th 2024, alleged Israeli artillery shelling injured at least three displaced civilians at the Muscat School near Al Ta’lem (Education) Roundabout in the north of the Gaza Strip.

According to the Palestinian Press Agency (SafaPs), three people were injured in the reported Israeli military shelling. This number is supported by various tweets, such as by @Mina_miname and @Dorktya who both posted the same video of one of the injured men being brought to the hospital with the caption by @Mina_miname reading, “3 displaced people injured after artillery shelling on Muscat School near the Education Roundabout north of Gaza City.”

Other news agencies, such as Qastal News on Facebook and @PalpostN on X/Twitter reported unspecified numbers of injuries but both confirmed the strike type and location of the alleged shelling.

No further information was given on the victims of the reported shelling. Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli Military.
