"A new massacre is added to the list of massacres perpetrated by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip. Today, it targeted a new school, the Zaitoun school in the Zaytoun neighborhood which houses thousands of displaced persons. The IOF struck the school with two bombs that killed 20 martyrs, including 12 children and 6 women. There is also a large numbers of wounded people who are in critical condition. In addition, there are children whose limbs have been severed, six children specifically among the wounded.

This massacre is not the first. It is the 17th massacre in shelters and schools in Gaza City alone, since August. And thus the perpetual question remains open: where should the people go when shelters, schools, and homes are targeted? This question is yet to be answered by international institutions and organizations who must exert pressure on the Israeli occupation to stop this war and these massacres that target the children, women, innocents and the defenseless in Gaza."

On midday, the IDF carried out an airstrike on the UNRWA Al Zaitoun Preparatory Girls’ School “C”, situated next to the Al-Falah school in a school-complex are in Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City. The school, like all others in Gaza, is used as shelter by displaced persons.

Note: local press correspondents reported the school under different names: Al-Falah School, or Al-Zaitoun School "B". We know that all of these schools are part of the same UNRWA school-complex.

The horrific footage showed severed body parts and amputated children all around the place.

Two bombs were dropped on the school, as confirmed by the Civil Defense and seen in footage by Al-Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif showing clearly two separate spots where the ceiling penetrated, showing very comparable holes caused by the bombs. Two wing fragments of GBU-39 SDBs (Small Diameter Bombs) were found, in addition to what could be the nosecone of one of those bombs

The school-complex was previously bombed twice: on November 16, 2023 and July 18, 2024.
