The Israeli occupation continues its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, intensifying its targeting of civilians and shelter sites in a relentless campaign of destruction overnight.
In the early hours of Monday, Israeli warplanes bombed the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School in Gaza City’s al-Daraj neighborhood, killing more than 20 Palestinians, according to Palestinian media. The school had been sheltering displaced families at the time of the strike.
The airstrike triggered a massive fire inside the school, and rescue teams later retrieved charred bodies of the victims, underscoring the sheer brutality of the attack.
