In a new massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip, 30 Palestinians were killed on Sunday following a series of Israeli airstrikes that targeted two schools in Gaza City sheltering thousands of displaced people.

According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, the Israeli airstrikes on the Hassan Salama and Al-Nasr schools in western Gaza City killed 30 Palestinians and injured dozens of others, including many in serious condition.

Palestinian news websites also reported that the Israeli bombardment destroyed the northern wing of the Al-Nasr School, which consists of three floors, and damaged the ground floor of Hassan Salama School.

Video footage showed fires breaking out inside the Hassan Salama School, which shelters thousands of displaced individuals whose homes have been destroyed.

Commenting on the latest massacre, Hamas pointed out that the Israeli occupation deliberately commits massacres against civilians, calling on the international community and Arab and Islamic countries to act to stop these crimes and hold the perpetrators accountable.

The movement vowed that the Israeli occupation's objectives of terrorizing, intimidating, and displacing people would be thwarted by the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their courageous Resistance.

It also warned that Netanyahu and his henchmen's delusions of subjugating and oppressing the Palestinian people will result in the destruction and devastation of their fragile and beleaguered entity and its failing military.

This comes less than 24 hours after a similar Israeli massacre at the al-Hamama School in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, which killed 16 displaced Palestinians.

Gaza Civil Defense's capacity to handle Israeli bombardment is exhausted

In a related context, Gaza's Civil Defense stated that approximately 16 displaced Palestinians are still missing under the rubble of the school building, with teams continuing their search at the site.

The Civil Defense announced that it is now unable to deal with the Israeli bombardment due to deteriorating equipment, pointing out that its personnel are working with the minimum available resources.

It also stressed that the Israeli occupation disregards any conventions or norms in its war on Gaza, adding that the continued targeting of schools housing thousands of displaced people is further evidence of this.

Elsewhere, the Civil Defense noted that most of the injuries arriving at hospitals are children and women, putting the percentage of children casualties at 80%.

'Israel' targeted 172 shelters for displaced people

On its part, the Gaza Government Media Office reported that 172 shelters for displaced people have been targeted by the Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza on October 7, 2023.

The Media Office noted that approximately 1,040 Palestinians have been killed inside schools since the onset of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the number of Palestinians killed since the start of the ongoing Israeli war has risen to 39,583 and those injured to 91,398.

It noted, however, that several victims remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, with ambulance and Civil Defense teams unable to reach them due to the dense rubble and continuous Israeli bombardment.
