According to Palestinian reports, many people have been killed in an Israeli attack on a former school building in Gaza city.
At least 22 people were killed and at least 30 others were wounded, the Hamas-controlled health authority said on Saturday, including many minors and women. According to information, displaced people were staying in the building.
The Israeli military said it had struck a Hamas command center in the building. Israeli forces took numerous measures to reduce the danger to civilians before the airstrike. The Hamas members who were attacked were planning attacks on Israel, the report said. Israel accuses Hamas of using civilian buildings for its own purposes.
Aid workers desperately search for victims under the rubble
According to the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Civil Defense, aid workers are currently pulling victims from the rubble of the building, so the death toll could continue to rise.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA initially reported attacks on two former schools in the same district. There are several buildings in the immediate vicinity that were used as schools before the war. Neighbors told the German news agency that they had heard several attacks in the area.
The military was not aware of a second attack on another former school building in the area, the military said upon request.
According to the Hamas-controlled health authority, at least 41,391 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the war began following the Hamas massacre on October 7. The figures do not distinguish between civilians and fighters.
