******** strike on Gaza school ****** 11, health ministry says

At least 11 people have been ******* in an ******** air strike on a school in northern Gaza being used as a shelter by displaced families, the ******-run health ministry says.

Women and children were among the ***** brought to hospitals following the ******* on al-Faluja school in the urban Jabalia ******** camp, according to the ministry.

The ******** military said a “precise” strike targeted a “command-and-control centre” used by ****** fighters – something the armed group has previously denied.

The ******-run Civil Defence agency said thousands of displaced Palestinians were living there and put the ****** toll at 15.

Local medics meanwhile told Reuters news agency that at least 14 people were *******.

One resident, Rami Abdul Nabi, said the school was hit by two missiles and that it felt “like an earthquake” as they exploded.

“This should be… a place for the displaced to find a sanctuary, people who have no options left,” he told Reuters. “It was a shocking massacre.”

Many schools have been turned into shelters for the 1.9 million Palestinians who have fled their homes since the war between ******* and ****** started almost a year ago.

However, at least 61% of schools have been directly hit during the conflict and another 24% have been damaged, according to satellite analysis by the UN and its partners.

Three other schools in northern and central Gaza were struck by ******** aircraft between last Saturday and Monday, reportedly ******** at least 32 people.

As with Thursday’s strike in Jabalia camp, the ******** military said it had targeted ****** command centres and that it had taken steps to mitigate the risk of harming civilians.

It also accused ****** of systematically violating international law by operating from inside civilian infrastructure.

The ******** military launched a campaign to ******** ****** in response to the group’s unprecedented ******* on southern ******* on 7 October, in which about 1,200 people were ******* and 251 others were taken ********.

More than 41,150 people have been ******* in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s health ministry.

In a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday, ************ President Mahmoud Abbas – a rival of ****** who is based in the occupied West Bank – appealed to world leaders to end the war.

“Stop this ******. Stop it now. Stop ******** children and women. Stop the genocide. Stop sending weapons to *******. This madness cannot continue,” he said.

*******’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, condemned the speech, saying that Abbas “did not say the word ‘******’ once”.

“Since the massacre of 7 October, Abbas has ******* to condemn ****** for their ******* against humanity,” he added.

The US, Egypt and Qatar are trying to broker a ceasefire and ******** release deal, which they also see as key to de-escalating between ******* and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. However, US officials have admitted the negotiations have stalled in recent weeks.
