News from Israel and Gaza: Israel strikes targets in Lebanon – Hezbollah rockets north – Politics

At least 22 people were reportedly killed in an Israeli attack on a former school building in Gaza City, according to Palestinian sources. At least 30 people were injured, according to the health authority controlled by the terrorist organization Hamas. Among them are many children, youth and women.

Reciprocity is the same as in other cases: according to Palestinian reports, people who had to flee their homes because of the conflict stayed in the building. However, Israel’s military said it had hit a Hamas command center in the building. A number of measures were taken prior to the airstrikes to minimize the risk to civilians. Under attack, Hamas members plan to attack Israel. Israel continues to accuse Hamas of using civilian buildings for its own purposes.

Aid workers are currently pulling victims out from under the rubble of the building, according to the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Civil Defense. Accordingly, the death toll may rise further. The Palestinian news agency Wafa initially reported the attacks on two former schools in the same district. In the immediate vicinity are several buildings that were used as schools before the war. Residents told a German press agency that they heard several attacks in the area. The Israeli military said upon request that it was not aware of a second attack on another former school building in the area. None of the information could initially be independently verified.
