In the afternoon, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Hafsa school in the Shadia Abu Ghazala Schools complex in Al-Faluja area of Jabalia. Like other schools, thousands of displaced people were sheltering here.

Journalist Abdelqader Sabbah documented that the point of impact of the Israeli airstrikea, where most of the victims were found piled up, was a gathering at food kiosks in the school courtyard. Journalist Islam Bader confirmed that and added that right next to the kiosk there was a food a bank, and two ladies baking bread. Both ladies were killed, and bloodstained bread was found on the scene.

The attack has killed at least 15 people and injured others in the school. Footage shows multiple bodies dismembered, beheaded, torn to shreds, and gruesomely disfigured. The victims include women and children. Dozens more have been wounded, some severely, as the search continues for those missing under the rubble.

Photo by photojournalist Mahmoud Sabbah of a father and daughter crying for their loved ones: "The father sat on the ground, exhausted from the weight of the pain. In his arms, his daughter sheds burning tears, as if she is trying to hide in her father's chest from the cruelty of this world. The shadows of the faces of loved ones who have departed are hidden in her tears, and the sounds of memories that have been shattered under the weight of loss. In the background, life passes slowly, children whose eyes focus on tears they do not understand yet why they are shed."

Israeli spin

As always, Israel claimed the Hafsa School was being used as a Hamas “command and control centre”, without sharing any evidence. Source
