Israel’s war on Gaza updates: School strike contradicts ‘all moral values’

Dozens killed and many wounded in Israeli air strikes on a UN-run school sheltering thousands of displaced people in central Gaza.
The Israeli military confirmed its fighter jets hit the UNRWA school at the Nuseirat camp saying it targeted and killed Hamas fighters.
Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri says while the group appreciates “Biden’s ideas”, the current ceasefire proposal does not provide a firm enough commitment that the war will end permanently. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

More attacks have taken place in the past couple of hours in central Gaza. Throughout the day, we could hear constant air strikes and artillery shelling by the Israeli military in different areas.

Here at Al-Aqsa Hospital, we saw several ambulances dispatched to the eastern part of the city of Deir el-Balah where a residential building was targeted.

People passing by the area were among the casualties. So far, three people were pronounced dead, two of them killed right on the spot. The third arrived at the hospital and doctors did everything possible to save him but were unable to.

Several other people who were injured are still inside the emergency department, lying on the floor waiting for medical intervention.

Gaza media office decries killing of Nuseirat mayor
The press office released a statement calling the killing of Iyad Ahmed al-Maghari, mayor of Nuseirat, “a war crime aimed at creating a state of chaos”.

Al-Maghari was “loyal and dedicated to his work” and continued to assist the people of the Nuseirat refugee camp throughout the war.

Israeli strikes previously killed the mayors of az-Zahra in the south and the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, while destroying the headquarters of several municipalities across the enclave.

“The mayors who were assassinated were faithful examples of diligent and continuous service,” the statement said.
