Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt least seven people were killed Sunday in an apparent IDF strike on a UN school in southern Gaza which was sheltering Palestinians displaced by an Israeli military offensive, Gaza medical authorities say.
Gaza emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra, an employee of the Hamas-run Health Ministry, says another 30 people were wounded in the attack which took place in the southern city of Rafah, which straddles the border with Egypt.
Chris Gunness, a spokesman for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA, says initial reports suggested there had been a shelling near a school housing almost 3,000 people.
