A man looks at the aftermath of an Israeli strike on a school that killed at least 33 people in the Nusseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on Thursday. Israel said it had intel that Hamas militants were operating from within the facility.
An Israeli strike early Thursday on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in central Gaza killed at least 33 people, including 12 women and children, according to local health officials. The Israeli military said that Hamas militants were operating from within the school.
It was the latest instance of mass casualties among Palestinians trying to find refuge as Israel expands its offensive. A day earlier, the military announced a new ground and air assault in central Gaza, pursuing Hamas militants it says have regrouped there.
Troops repeatedly have swept back into parts of the Gaza Strip they have previously invaded, underscoring the resilience of the militant group despite Israel’s nearly eight-month onslaught.
Witnesses and hospital officials said the pre-dawn strike hit the alSardi School, run by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees known by the acronym UNRWA.
The school was filled with Palestinians who had fled Israeli operations and bombardment in northern Gaza, they said.
