The ongoing violence in Gaza has resulted in significant casualties among Palestinians, with reports indicating that 27 individuals were killed due to Israeli airstrikes across various regions, including a tragic bombing of a school sheltering displaced individuals. The situation remains dire as the conflict continues to escalate, particularly affecting vulnerable populations such as women and children.
The Israeli military has confirmed its involvement in the bombing of Safad School in the Zeitoun neighborhood, justifying its actions by alleging that Hamas militants were operating from within the building. This incident is part of a broader pattern of violence that has seen the death toll rise dramatically since the onset of hostilities on October 7, 2023, with the Ministry of Health in Gaza reporting over 40,000 fatalities and more than 94,000 injuries, highlighting the devastating impact of the conflict on civilian life.
