At least 90 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli strike on a school in Gaza, according to local officials.

Gaza Civil Defense said the Al-Tabi’in school was housing displaced Palestinians in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in the eastern part of Gaza City when it was hit overnight into Saturday.

“We recovered at least 90 people who had been killed,” spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told CNN, adding that “many of them are torn apart, many are still unidentified.”

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to CNN that it hit the school, saying its air force “precisely struck Hamas terrorists operating within a Hamas command and control center embedded” in the building.

In its statement, the military claimed the “command and control center served as a hideout for Hamas terrorists and commanders, from which various attacks were planned and advanced against IDF troops and the State of Israel.”

When asked by CNN, the IDF did not share any evidence to support this claim.

The military also said that before the airstrike, “numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and intelligence information.”

Saturday’s strike is the fifth on a school in Gaza by the Israeli military since last Sunday, according to CNN’s previous reporting. The UN Human Rights Office earlier this week said it was “horrified by the unfolding pattern” of strikes on schools in Gaza, according to a statement on August 5th, adding that “such attacks are escalating.”

Israeli military action in Gaza has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians and injured over 90,000, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. As of early July, nearly 2 million people had been displaced in the enclave – almost its entire population, according to figures from the United Nations.

Israel launched the military offensive on October 7, after militant group Hamas attacked southern Israel. At least 1,200 people were killed, and more than 250 others abducted in the Hamas-led assault, according to Israeli authorities.

A doctor working in a nearby hospital earlier said at least 50 people had been killed in Saturday’s strike.

“Since entering the operating room at 5:00 am [local time] today, there were at least 50 bodies and dozens of wounded,” Dr. Fadl Naim from Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City told CNN, adding that the emergency room at the hospital is completely full of people who have been wounded, and “most of the wounded, unfortunately, have amputations and burns.”

Basal said many of the dead were yet to be identified.
“There are still large quantities of body parts and torn bodies inside Al-Ahli hospital,” he said. “Families are having a hard time identifying their children.”
Airstrikes on multiple school buildings sheltering displaced Palestinians last weekend killed at least 47, including many children, and injured dozens more.

Videos obtained by CNN from the area of last Sunday’s strike – which the IDF also claimed targeted Hamas infrastructure – show extensive destruction and dead bodies in a schoolyard. In the videos, medics and rescuers carry injured children to waiting ambulances.

Palestinian officials told CNN that Israel did not give civilians any warning before the airstrikes occurred.

Keep covering religion terrorists and keep dying.

Isreal never ready to calm down. Hamas brought this on their people.
I'm yet to see the benefit of that October 7 attack.
In this part of the world, a whole village can be wiped out and even the president will not lift a finger. Benue people can testify.

When will this war end, 😢 for God sake

Please if I may ask, what have Hamas gained so far with October 7 attack?

Why start a fight with someone who can kill, burial you and nothing will happen? I don't understand.

Most people that lead October 7 attack are neither dead, hiding or have ran away leaving innocent people to pay for what they know nothing about...

To worsen the matter, Israel has stopped giving them signal/ warning to leave before striking. Israel should just mercy for this people. Let peace reign because they real Pakistan/ Hamas living in Gaza have learnt their lessons, not they once living in the comfort of their homes / countries thinking they're shooting Hollywood movie in Gaza. I believe they'll not attack Israel again.

No t ok

Hamas have not achieved one thing since they began this war

In fact whenever this war ends hamas would not be in charge of Gaza which is the goal in the third phase cease fire

It would take the next attackers over 20 years to stabilize gaza and launch again since dem use terrorism swear for them

The people when de produce the bomb go de work overtime

For me o this battle is already over, hamas is dead

Hamas should just release all the hostages in defeat, then again they want concession that israel would allow them to rule gaza for their selfish interest

Which ever way, the cease fire would eventually be israel getting its hostages and bringing palestine authority to rule gaza which accomplishes all israel goal

The foolish losers called hamas would take israel withdrawal to be a consolation victory with a ruined gaza, and a PA that israel can still subdue anytime they want

Islamic terrorists should just surrender to supremacy of Israel. Their copycat god can't safe them from Israel God. You turned God of Abraham to god of Ibrahim and you think he will answer you.

Bandits kill more than 30 people there few days ago.

Nice one.

See how Israel is dealing with terrorists in another country but here in my dear country they are romancing the terrorists.

A country where terrorists do giveaway openly and nothing is done.

I love this .

End all terrorists
