The Israeli military claimed, without providing evidence, that the deadly attacks carried out on the two school shelters were a “precise strike” that targeted “terrorists who were operating in command and control centres” in the buildings.
Since the start of the ongoing genocide, the Israeli military has repeatedly targeted schools-turned-shelters across Gaza. These attacks have included shelling, direct shootings, and the killing of forcibly displaced people and their families or making them leave the schools under fire and/or with orders to flee.
