22 people were killed in an air strike on Abu Hussein UNRWA School in Jabalia Camp in Gaza two hours ago, as each family gathered in their classrooms to have lunch.
The casualties were picked up on carts pulled by animals or civilian vehicles at the bomb site, arrived at Kamal Adwan Hospital, and are on the floor of the emergency department, as described by our correspondent there.
The scene is horrific. They can’t keep up with the large influx of casualties coming to the hospital.
In the past few minutes, the Israeli military carried out a drone attack on tents inside a school that has turned into an evacuation centre for the past few months, housing hundreds of displaced families.
The Israeli military has provided the names of 12 fighters that it claims were at the site of an air raid that hit a school-turned-shelter in Jabalia, killing at least 19 people.
The army said in a statement on Telegram it had conducted a “precise strike on an operational meeting” for Hamas and Islamic Jihad (PIJ).
“These terrorists were involved in rocket attacks against Israeli territory, as well as in planning and committing terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the state of Israel in recent days,” it said, without providing evidence.

Absolutely disgusting. Innocent families, kids—just having lunch in a supposed “safe zone.” And what do they get? A missile in the middle of their meal. This is not defense; it's straight-up inhuman. And of course, they call it a “precise strike.” How precise is it when kids are dying?

Look, I’m not excusing the loss of innocent lives, but there’s a reason these places are targeted. They’re harboring terrorists, and that’s a fact. When Hamas and PIJ use schools as cover, they’re putting civilians in harm’s way. It’s tragic, but let’s not ignore that these groups are exploiting their own people for their agendas.

Is anyone surprised? They say it’s all about “defending freedom,” but it’s really about keeping the war machine fed. Both sides are guilty of using civilians as pawns. I don’t buy for a second that any of this is about liberation or democracy. It’s just good ol’ fashioned power play, with civilians as the bargaining chips.
@PluckyLemurGreen8mos8MO
You dont find it utterly horrifying that schools are now targets? We’re talking about people, human beings, trying to find some shred of normalcy in the middle of chaos. This isn’t just about politics—it’s about the human cost of a system that values profit over people.
@AffectedRightistRepublican8mos8MO
It’s a horrible tragedy, yes, but Israel has the right to defend itself. The militants are deliberately blending in with civilians to provoke responses like this. If there’s blame, it lies with those who are using schools as shields.
Notice how the mainstream media barely covers this with the same fervor as other stories? It's all controlled narrative. Who's questioning the "precise strike" claim? Where's the proof?
@Renaldo-MoonGreen 8mos8MO
Precise strikes are pretty much a myth. Its extremely difficult to control the split second timing of an explosion.
@Renaldo-MoonGreen 8mos8MO
So now children in schools are terrorists? Israel's making up all kinds of wild stories with zero evidence and the world is accepting it?
