Palestinian Medic killed, Over 15 Tents Burned in Israeli Attack on School-turned-Shelter in Central Gaza
Gaza (Quds News Network)- A Palestinian medic was killed, and many others were injured in an Israeli strike on a UN-run school in the Al-Bureij camp in central Gaza. The attack caused a fire that destroyed at least 15 makeshift tents in the school’s courtyard, where hundreds of displaced families were sheltering.

Since the beginning of August 2024, the Israeli forces have targeted schools, hospitals, clinics, and shelter halls over 65 times, including 39 times in October, according to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor in a report issued in October. These attacks aim to “forcefully displace the Palestinian population from the area.”
The Israeli targeting has included shelling, direct shootings, killing forcibly displaced people and their families, or making them leave schools-turned-shelters under fire and/or with orders to evacuate.
These schools are then burned or otherwise destroyed by Israeli forces in order to render them uninhabitable and stop displaced people from returning to them.
