WASHINGTON DC, 5th August. Palestinian security and medical sources on Sunday said that at least 10 Palestinians were killed and dozens of others wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza City.

Palestinian security sources said that an Israeli jet bombed with one missile a school housing displaced people in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City

The bombing killed 10 people and injured dozens of others, and the number of victims is expected to increase, Palestinian medical sources said.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement on Saturday that it targeted a Hamas command and control complex that was used to produce weapons and was previously used as a school in Gaza City, media reported.

The statement added that the complex was used as a “hideout for Hamas terrorists, and planning was carried out inside this complex to commit terrorist attacks against Israel”.

Gaza based health authorities said in a press statement on Saturday that Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 39,550, with 91,280 others wounded.

“The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law by operating from within civilian infrastructure, brutally exploiting the civilian population and institutions as human shields for their terror activities,” it added.

Israel has launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on October 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
