At least seven Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on a school for displaced individuals in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Israeli warplanes targeted the UN-run al-Shujaiya School in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City on Tuesday. Reports from Palestinian sources indicated that the attack resulted in multiple injuries as well.
This incident raised the total number of shelters and centers struck by "Israel" to 185 since the war escalated last October. Additionally, Oxfam reported that Israeli explosive weapons continue to target civilian infrastructure in Gaza, including schools and hospitals, approximately every three hours.
Oxfam reported that Israeli explosive weapons strike schools and hospitals every four days on average.

On Tuesday, an airstrike on a residential building south of the Nuseirat refugee camp resulted in the deaths of 12 people, including children. "Israel" also bombed the Amour area in al-Fukhari Town, east of Khan Younis, though there were no immediate casualty reports.
Additionally, overnight strikes targeted the al-Shujaiya neighborhood and a tent for displaced people northeast of Rafah.
This comes after the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT) released its ninth update on the damage to buildings in the Gaza Strip due to the brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza. According to the analysis, based on high-resolution satellite imagery collected on September 3 and 6, 2024, two-thirds of all structures in the Gaza Strip have sustained damage.
By comparing recent imagery with earlier data, UNOSAT has provided a comprehensive overview of the destruction's evolution. The report indicated that 66% of the structures, totaling 163,778, have been affected. This included 52,564 buildings that have been destroyed, 18,913 severely damaged, 35,591 possibly damaged, and 56,710 moderately impacted.
In the latest toll, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Monday that the number of Palestinians killed in the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Strip since October 7 has now reached 41,615, with 96,359 injured as the war marks its 360th day.
Additionally, the ministry stated that the Israeli occupation continues to commit massacres against families in the Strip, killing 20 people and injuring 108 over the past 24 hours.
