GAZA May 26 

At least 33 Palestinians, including 18 children and six women, were killed and dozens of others injured in an Israeli airstrike early Monday morning targeting the Fahmi Al-Jarjawi school sheltering displaced families, according to Gaza’s Civil Defence. 

Mahmoud Basal, a civil defense spokesperson, told Xinhua that searching operations, still underway for missing persons under the rubble, were hampered by the scale of the devastation. 

Eyewitnesses described the scene as “catastrophic.” “The explosion was like an earthquake. Minutes later, we saw flames engulfing the tents and charred bodies inside them,” Mahmoud Suleiman, a resident of the area, told Xinhua.

In a statement, the Israeli army confirmed the targeting of the school, claiming that it was being used as a “command and control compound” by Hamas and Islamic Jihad to plan “terrorist attacks.” The army added that it had employed precision-guided munitions and aerial reconnaissance to minimize civilian casualties. 

The bombing coincided with the Israeli army issuing urgent evacuation orders for residents of the Bani Suheila, Abasan, and Al-Qarara areas of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, in preparation for an “unprecedented” attack.

The evacuation came after three rockets were fired from southern Gaza toward Israel, one of which was intercepted. Since Israel resumed its military campaign on March 18, at least 3,822 Palestinians have been killed and 10,925 injured, bringing the overall death toll in Gaza since the war began in October 2023 to 53,977, with a total of 122,966 people injured, according to health authorities in Gaza on Monday.
