Hamas-linked Gaza rescuers say 9 killed in new Israeli strike on school sheltering displaced

Gaza’s Hamas-linked civil defense agency says that nine people were killed in a fresh Israeli strike on a school sheltering displaced people in the center of the war-ravaged Palestinian territory.

“Nine dead and dozens of injuries in a new airstrike that targeted the northern side of Abu Humeisa School, which shelters displaced people in Al-Bureij camp,” Ahmad Radwan, a media officer from the Hamas-linked Gaza civil defense, tells AFP after rescuers said an earlier Israeli strike on the same site killed 22.

The IDF has yet to comment on the latest strike but has long insisted that it takes precautions to avoid civilian casualties.
