At least 17 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in central Gaza, Saturday.
The Government Media Office in Gaza said many others were injured in the attack on the Al Hamama School in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.
Sources on the ground reported at least three bombs were dropped on the school whilst rescuers and volunteers inside the facility were trying to help people escape the rubble as it was destroyed completely.
Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif was reporting on the Israeli attack on the school.
“While we were documenting the massacre inside this school, the displaced people received calls from the Israeli military ordering them to evacuate the building immediately, because it was going to be targeted again,” he said.
“Bodies are everywhere and the medics are retrieving them and body parts everywhere … it’s a big massacre,” according to the Quds News Network.
