Israel Kills 29 Players in Football Game Strike

They were killed by an Israeli strike whilst playing football in Al Awda School in Abassan town near Khan Younis towards the south of the Gaza Strip, Tuesday.

Videoclips on the social media show the attack live and which resulted in at least 30 being killed and 53 injured. Most of the dead are women and children.

This is the fourth Israeli strike on a school building in four days. These buildings are used by displaced Palestinians as shelters. The Israeli army wants the Palestinians to keep move but nobody knows where!

Exclusive footage from the school, obtained by Al Jazeera, shows young Palestinians playing football in the building’s yard as dozens of people watch on. Then, a loud explosion is heard, sending people running for cover.

“We were sitting and a missile fell and destroyed everything,” he said, sobbing. “I lost my uncle, my cousins and my relatives,” one Palestinian boy said.

The Israeli attack is trending on the social media with much images and videoclips and its just the last of thousands of massacres committed by the Israeli army in its genocide against Gaza.

The extent of horrors is conveyed by one report that simply says  “You are looking at the remains of what was previously a human being!” This is “from the US-Israeli strike on Al-Awda school in Khan Younis.

Their body parts are collected from the ground and placed into boxes and buckets.”

One lady said “My father was mutilated, I collected his meat with my hands.”

He was holding my grandfathers hand, but everything else was unrecognizable, they completely mutilated him! He was completely mutilated and my grandfather was half mutilated”

Earth-shattering testimony of a woman who found her father a pile of meat after being trampled by Israeli tanks,” she said.

European Union’s foreign policy chief condemned the latest deadly Israeli attack. “For how long are innocent civilians going to bear the brunt of this conflict?” Josep Borrell said on X.

Condemning the attack as a violation of international law, he said “those responsible must be held accountable.”

“It is imperative to immediately reach a cease-fire to bring respite to hundreds of stranded civilians, free all the hostages, deliver the needed humanitarian aid,” he said.
