Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy leader, has demanded a probe into the Israeli strike on a UN-operated school in Gaza, which killed at least 40 people, including nine women and 14 children.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip, citing medical sources, reported that at least 40 Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured after the Israeli occupation deliberately hit an UNRWA school sheltering displaced individuals in the Camp 2 area in the Nuseirat, central Gaza Strip, with an airstrike. 

The correspondent stated that the occupation warplanes committed this massacre after midnight, adding that the al-Sardi School, which was bombed, shelters displaced Palestinians, while the Gaza Government Media Office issued a statement holding the "Israeli occupation and the US administration fully responsible for the crimes against humanity committed against Palestinians in Gaza."

Borrell wrote on X that reports from Gaza show "violence and suffering are still the only reality for hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians," calling for the incident to be "independently investigated, in line with [the] last International Court of Justice (ICJ) order."

Reports coming from Gaza time and again show that violence and suffering are still the only reality for hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.

This appalling news must be independently investigated, in line with last @CIJ_ICJ order. 🧵 1/2 https://t.co/LkumJqZZpP

— Josep Borrell Fontelles (@JosepBorrellF) June 6, 2024

Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), wrote on X that the Israeli attack took place "without prior warning" at yet another "UNRWA school turned shelter."

"Attacking, targeting or using UN buildings for military purposes is a blatant disregard of International Humanitarian law," he expressed.

Another horrific day in #Gaza.
Another @UNRWA school turned shelter attacked.
This time in Nuseirat, in the Middle Areas, hit overnight by the Israeli Forces without prior warning to the displaced or @UNRWA.

At least 35 people were killed and many more injured.

On his part, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stated that the attack was just another "horrific example of the price that civilians are paying."

When he was asked whether Guterres condemned this attack, Dujarric replied, "Of course he condemns this attack. There will need to be accountability for everything that has happened in Gaza."

US-made munitions used in deadly strike on UN school in central Gaza

A CNN investigation of footage from the area and a study by an explosive weapons expert revealed that US-made explosives were used in a fatal Israeli attack on a United Nations-run school in central Gaza on Thursday, where Palestinians were taking refuge.

CNN discovered parts of at least two US-made GBU-39 small-diameter bombs (SDBs) in video footage captured at the location by a CNN correspondent.

As usual, the Israeli occupation alleged it was targeting a Hamas compound operating inside the school, blatantly lying about minimizing the danger to civilians by using "precise intelligence".

US-supplied GBU-39 bombs used in Israeli attack on Rafah camps: CNN

This is the second confirmation in less than a month by CNN that US-manufactured weapons were used in lethal Israeli assaults on displaced Palestinians.

The origin of the weapon used in the Rafah airstrike was the United States, an earlier report published by CNN revealed. The revelation makes the US government a prime suspect in facilitating Israeli war crimes, especially as US officials refuse to condemn the action.

The Rafah strike, which saw the use of two guided munition bombs, eventually led to a fire breaking out, killing at least 45 and injuring 200 others, most of whom were women and children.

This is not the first time that US-supplied weapons have been used to commit acts of genocide against the Palestinian population and target internationally protected organizations, as Washington is the primary supplier of explosives, bombs, missiles, and various types of munitions to the Israeli military.

It is worth noting that the US has also supplied the Israeli regime with 328 fighter aircraft, which have been used to commit the bulk of war crimes and instances of violations of international law in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria in the past eight months.
