Last week more than 100 people were killed after Israel hit a school
in Gaza City sheltering displaced Palestinians, as the United Nations
accused Israel of intensifying attacks on schools.
The targeting of al-Talbin School on Saturday during dawn prayers
triggered global outrage.
Paramedics at the scene described the carnage as horrific, with
ôbodies ripped to piecesö. Israel claimed that Hamas and Palestinian
Islamic Jihad fighters were operating from the school û a claim that
was rejected by Hamas.
Israel has repeatedly attacked GazaÆs schools, hospitals and
universities, claiming the buildings were used for military purposes
without providing any proof.
With numerous evacuation orders since the war in Gaza began on October
7, schools have often been used to shelter nearly two million
displaced Palestinians in the besieged enclave.
Under the Fourth Geneva Convention, schools are considered civilian
objects and should be protected from attacks. However, within a 10-day
period in August, Israeli forces struck five schools in Gaza City,
killing more than 179 people and injuring scores more.
