At least eight Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed, and dozens more were injured in Israeli bombings in Gaza City and Rafah.
Eight people were killed and several others wounded after Israeli forces targeted the Ibn al-Haytham School in the Shujayea neighborhood east of Gaza City with a missile, Wafa reported.
Those injured were taken to the nearby al-Ahli Arab (Baptist) Hospital, the agency said.
The Israeli army has put out a statement claiming it carried out a “precise strike” on a Hamas “command and control center embedded inside a compound that previously served as the Ibn Al-Haytam School in the area of Gaza City”.
“This is a further example of the Hamas terrorist organization’s systematic abuse of civilian infrastructure in violation of international law,” the statement said.
The Israeli military did not provide evidence to back up this claim.
Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of operating from civilian compounds such as schools and evacuation centers, a claim Hamas denies.
