Archivist Notes On This Video

A distraught father gives a testimony. "I've been dispalced five times already and now I have to contend with being displaced again. There's just no safety anywhere. I am original from Shati camp. I was staying at my in-laws when the house was struck and I lost my wife and children. We were just asleep when they hit us, and we're all injured here (from previous strikes) The hit us with a bomb at 2 am, 10 minutes before 2am precisely. What's our sin? What's the sin of thse children? What did they do to become orphaned? Allah is our Supporter and the best Disposer of affairs. We were transfered here from Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital. I don't know where I can take my children now. I don't want us to be roaming the streets from one place to another."

Archivist Notes: Ibn Rushd School Massacre

Around 2 am, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Ibn Rushd Girls' Secondary School in Al-Thaabin area of Zawayda, central Gaza. The school was sheltering displaced people and **housed a field hospital **supporting Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Specifically, a bomb was dropped on the southern building of the school, penetrating from the second floor to a classroom at ground floor level.

Most, if not all, the people sheltering inside the school were injured victims transfered here from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital to recover, according to a witness.

That same night, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Mosque, located inside near the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital compound, was attacked.

Journalist Abdallah Alattar and vlogger Saleh Al-Jafarawi were documenting the attack when a second explosion happened meters away from them. Alattar was stunned for a while by the loudness of the explosion. Saleh said he wasn't sure if the xplosion was from a another bomb or from a gas cylinder exploding due to the fire that broke out inside the school.

  • 4 people killed and 10 injuries
