DaysofPal – At least 29 Palestinian civilians, including 10 children, were burned alive overnight after Israeli forces bombed a UNRWA school in Gaza City sheltering hundreds of displaced people.
According to medical sources, dozens more were injured and others remain missing following the pre-dawn strike on Fahmi Al-Jarjawi School in the Al-Daraj neighbourhood of central Gaza. Charred bodies of victims were retrieved from the school grounds, which had been designated as a civilian shelter.
Elsewhere, four additional civilians were killed and others wounded when Israeli warplanes bombed a residential home and nearby tents for displaced families on Al-Thawra Street, east of Gaza City.
In northern Gaza, Israeli forces carried out a bloody massacre against the Abed Rabbo family in eastern Jabalia, killing 19 members, the majority of them children.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces demolished multiple homes in Al-Qarara, northeast of Khan Younis, and continued heavy fire near Nuseirat Refugee Camp in central Gaza. Israeli artillery also shelled the areas of Al-Satar and Al-Qarara, while airstrikes targeted Qizan Al-Najjar and the eastern sectors of Khan Younis.
Further destruction was reported in eastern Gaza City, where homes were razed, and an airstrike hit Al-Maghazi refugee camp. Israeli drones opened fire on residential areas in Karama, northwest of Gaza City, and in Al-Bayouk and Abu Saqr neighborhoods in Batn Al-Samin, central Khan Younis.
An Israeli ground robot loaded with explosives was also detonated northwest of Beit Lahia, deepening the destruction in the northern Gaza Strip.
This escalation comes as the Israeli occupation continues its genocidal war on Gaza for the 598th consecutive day, marked by relentless aerial and ground bombardment. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the death toll since October 7, 2023, has risen to 53,901 martyrs and 122,593 injured, with the majority being women and children.
A spokesperson for the World Health Organization stated that Gaza’s few remaining operational hospitals are functioning at partial capacity due to a critical shortage of medical personnel and supplies. He urgently called for the opening of border crossings to deliver aid and stressed the immediate need for a ceasefire.
