Middle East: Israeli strike hits Gaza shelter, killing 27 DW 10/10/2024
Briefly

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that at least 27 individuals lost their lives and many were injured in an Israeli strike on a Gaza school, which was serving as a shelter for those displaced by ongoing conflict. The organization confirmed the fatalities and stated that their teams responded to 54 injuries as a result of the attack. This tragic incident underscores the severe human toll amidst the military operations in the region.
According to the Israeli Defense Forces, the airstrike targeted a Hamas command and control center located within the school premises, although the military did not provide any evidence to substantiate this claim. Historical context shows that Israeli forces have often attacked schools used for shelter, under the pretext of militants concealing themselves in civilian institutions. This ongoing strategy raises serious questions about the protection of civilians in conflict zones.
