The majority of the dead were women and children, according to Palestinian medical sources, after the strike at the school’s gate struck the tents of displaced families in the village of Abassan, east of Khan Younis.
According to the Israeli military, a “precise munition” was used to strike a Hamas fighter who was participating in the incursion on Israel on October 7. It stated that reports of civilian injuries were being examined.
According to an Associated Press reporter who tallied the dead at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, the strike claimed the lives of at least 25 individuals.
According to health officials in the strip controlled by Hamas, at least 29 individuals died.
According to witnesses, the attack took place while displaced persons were congregating to watch a football game.
“They had a football game on TV. There were martyrs and injuries. I saw this—people being flung about, body parts all over the place, blood,” a young woman named Ghazzal Nasser told Reuters.
