Gaza City, August 15 (RHC)-- In the Gaza Strip, Israeli tanks and warplanes attacked Palestinian neighborhoods overnight for the fourth time this week. Israel said the raids were retaliation for incendiary balloons launched by Hamas.
One Israeli missile struck a United Nations elementary school in the crowded al-Shati refugee camp but failed to explode, prompting an evacuation.
A 12-year-old student, Lianne Al-Musawabi, told reporters: “I was shocked. I went home and told my mother what happened, and I was crying: 'Why are they hitting the school?'”
