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, the incident happened when it used “precise munition” to strike a Hamas militant that was a part of the raid 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.
Health officials under Hamas rule claim that at least 29 individuals died.
As everything is going on, thousands of people in Gaza City have been compelled to escape in search of ever-diminishing safety.
Israel’s current attempt to combat Hamas militants it claims are regrouping in places the army previously said had been completely cleansed as evidenced by its recent ground attack on Gaza’s main city.
After nine months of combat, much of the city’s inhabitants had evacuated earlier in the conflict, leaving only a few hundred thousand Palestinians living in the besieged enclave to the north.
According to the UN, employees at two hospitals raced to relocate patients and close their doors on Monday after Israel ordered the evacuation of Gaza City’s eastern and central areas.
