 At least 15 dead in Israeli airstrike on Gaza school shelter.

An Israeli airstrike killed at least fifteen people, including children and women, on Thursday in the jabalia camp, according to the Gaza Civil Defense Authority.

The Al-Faluja school has for many months been used as a shelter by displaced civilians. The Israel Defense Forces alleged that the school was being used as “a command and control center” by Hamas.

The airstrike left dozens injured, Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told . Nine corpses from the strike arrived at the Kamal Adwan Hospital, the head of that facility, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, told . All bodies received at the hospital were dismembered, he said.

The IDF said that “prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence information.”

 Despite the events unfolding in Lebanon, there has been no letup in airstrike on Gaza. Hospitals in the besieged enclave are overwhelmed and under equipped, and the daily search for food and water remains desperate.
