Gaza City, November 27 (RHC)--  More than a dozen people have lost their lives when Israeli warplanes carried out strikes against a school, which served as a shelter for displaced people, and a residential building in the northern sector of the Gaza Strip.

Local medical sources said 10 Palestinians, including three children, were killed in an Israeli aerial assault on the al-Tabi'een school.

Eyewitnesses said Israeli warplanes struck the school-turned-shelter at dawn, leaving fatalities among the displaced.  Search operations are underway for people under the rubble, the witnesses added.

On August 10, Israel struck the al-Tabi’een school in eastern Gaza City, which was hosting displaced Palestinians seeking shelter there amid the ongoing Israeli genocidal war.

At least 80 Palestinians were killed and 47 others injured, with several victims being trapped in the school as the fire spread, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Moreover, four Palestinians were killed and several others injured on Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike on a home in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of eastern Gaza City.

Three more people were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit a group of people near the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.  Israeli military forces also besieged a school in the Beit Lahia Project area, forcing the displaced people inside to leave.

Backed by the United States and its Western allies, Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the Israeli regime in response to the occupying entity’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed 44,249 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 104,746 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
