7 killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza school

The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip announced the killing of 7 people in an Israeli airstrike on the Kafr Qasim school, which houses displaced people in the central Gaza Strip.

The spokesman for the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip, Mahmoud Basal, explained that a number of people were injured, including serious cases, as a result of targeting the Kafr Qasim school, which houses hundreds of displaced people in the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.

For its part, the Israeli army said that it targeted Hamas militants, taking steps to "reduce the risk of harm to uninvolved civilians."

In a statement, he said his forces "carried out a precision strike on Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip" who were "operating in a compound", referring to the school building.

Several schools in the Gaza Strip have been targeted by the Israeli military in recent months, accusing Hamas of hiding its fighters in school buildings. Twenty-one people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Zeitoun School last Saturday, and on September 11, 18 people, including six UNRWA employees, were killed in a strike on the al-Jaouni School in central Gaza.
