Five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted Shuhada Al-Zaytoun Secondary School "B" for Boys, in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

The Palestinian Civil Defence

"The occupation bombed the Shuhada Al-Zaytoun school in Zaytoun neighborhood, a school that shelters displaced people who forcibly left their homes in the wake of the Israeli ground incursion in the neighborhood and thought they would find safety here. However, the Israeli occupation struck this school with two bombs, killing 5 people, including two children and a woman. This is aligned with the Israeli policy whereby the Jaouni school was bombed 4 days ago in Nuseirat where over 18 martyrs were killed. It is imperative to put a stop to these massacres against defenseless innocents and civilians in Gaza."

Israeli spin

The IDF claimed, as usual, it hit a "military command room" at the school-turned-shelter for displaced people. This explaination is a copy-paste of all the school massacres perpetrated since the beginning of the war. It also claimed that it took steps to “mitigate civilian harm in the strike”.

Casualties
