Occupied Al-Quds: At least 48 people were martyred in three Israeli air strikes in less than one hour, Gaza’s civil defence agency said as Israel’s military bombed another United Nations-run school as well as an Israeli-designed “safe-zone” in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli attacks on Tuesday hit the UN’s al-Razi school in the central Nuseirat refugee camp and a main street lined with market stalls in the southern al-Mawasi area, where thousands of displaced Palestinians had sought shelter.
At least 25 people were killed in al-Razi while 17 were killed in al-Mawasi, Gaza’s Government Media Office said. More than 70 people were wounded in the attacks.
A third Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza also killed five more Palestinians, officials said.
The bombing of al-Razi is the sixth Israeli attack on schools affiliated with the UN and its agencies in the past 10 days.
Video footage verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency Sanad showed a young man carrying what appear to be remnants of the rockets that targeted the school.
“I cannot describe the scene from the horror of the bombing,” he said.
