Israeli strike on Gaza school kills more than 100 people

Authorities in Gaza said Israeli bombs hit the school-turned-shelter as people were praying and triggered a fire.

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a school sheltering displaced people in Gaza City, according to officials in the enclave. Three Israeli bombs hit al-Tabin school, located in the Daraj district, Gaza’s civil defence agency said of the attack on Saturday, which it described as a “horrific massacre”.
Women, children and the elderly are reported to be among the dead and the toll was expected to rise. The attack took place while people were performing morning prayers and triggered a fire that ripped through the building. Ismail al-Thawabta, the head of Gaza’s Government Media Office, told Al Jazeera that the Israeli army used three bombs weighing 2,000 pounds (907kg) each in its attack. He said Israel was aware of the presence of displaced people inside the school. The Israeli military said its air forces struck a “command and control centre” that “served as a hideout for Hamas terrorists and commanders”. Without providing evidence, the Israeli military said in a separate statement that it had intelligence indicating there were 20 Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters, including senior commanders, operating from the school. It also said that the civilian casualty figures given by Palestinian authorities were inaccurate.
