Hamas claims 12 killed in strike on Gaza school; no verification
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza claims at least 12 people are killed when Israel struck a United Nations school where thousands of displaced Palestinians were sheltering. The claims by the terror group cannot be confirmed.
The ministry reports in a statement “12 martyrs and upwards of 54 wounded so far as a result of targeting Al-Fakhura school, which is sheltering thousands of displaced people in Jabaliya camp in the northern Gaza Strip.”
An earlier statement by the interior ministry said it was an “occupation [Israeli] strike” that hit the school.
There is no immediate comment from Israel, and AFP cannot confirm the toll independently.
There was also no immediate comment from the UN aid agency supporting Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
