******** strike on Gaza school-turned-shelter ****** 28, medics say

At least 28 people have been ******* in an ******** air strike on a school sheltering displaced families in the central Gaza Strip, the ************ Red Crescent says.

More than 50 others were injured in the ******* on Rufaida al-Aslamia school, which the medical organisation said was close to its headquarters in the town of Deir al-Balah.

A video from the scene showed people running to help the injured amid a cloud of smoke and dust, while several children were pictured being treated at the local al-Aqsa hospital.

The ******** military said the “precise” strike targeted ****** fighters operating inside a “command-and-control centre” at the school.

It also said it had taken steps to mitigate harm to civilians and accused ****** of systematically abusing civilian infrastructure – an allegation the group has previously denied.

Gaza’s ******-run health ministry also put the ****** toll at 28 and denounced what it called a “new massacre” by the ******** military.

Many schools have been turned into shelters for the 1.9 million Palestinians who have fled their homes since the war in Gaza started a year ago.

The ******** military launched a campaign to ******** ****** in response to the group’s unprecedented ******* on southern ******* on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were ******* and 251 others were taken ********.

More than 42,060 people have been ******* in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s health ministry.
