Health authorities in Gaza have identified 13-year-old girl Dana al-Jamasi among the nine people killed in an Israeli strike today targeting a Hamas police post in Gaza City.
Israel says it takes measures to avoid civilian casualties, while Hamas fighters operate among civilians.
An Israeli strike on Monday killed a young boy and severely wounded several women.
One of the victims of israel’s terrorist attack in Gaza an hour ago was 13-year-old Dana al-Jamasi. I just found this video of her on her school’s page in 2021 singing with her class an alphabet song. She was in 3rd grade. pic.twitter.com/GCu9U9obK8
