After an Israeli air attack on a school in the Gaza Strip, 100 people have been killed, according to the data of emergency doctors in the country. The media office in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip announced that the Israeli army struck the school, which is being used as a refugee shelter during the early morning Fajda prayer. Even the Arab channel, "al-Jazeera", referring to Palestinian civil defense data, spoke of 100 victims. Dozens of victims were burned as a result of the attack, it was said. The data cannot be independently verified.

Israel: Terrorists were hit

Meanwhile, Israel's army announced that on Saturday morning it struck a command center of the Islamist Hamas in the territory of the school in Gaza City in the north of the Gaza Strip and that the terrorists were attacked there. The Hamas commando center was located in a school next to a mosque, it said.

The Israeli military did not provide casualty figures in its announcement. Before the attack, it said, a "number of measures" were taken to reduce the risk to civilians. According to the army, precision munitions were used in this strike. The announcement stated that Hamas has used this building as a center for terrorists and commanders. From there, attacks against Israeli troops and the State of Israel are planned. The Israeli army recalled in its announcement that Hamas regularly violates international law, using civilian spaces and civilians for terrorist activities. Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the US, EU, Germany and other countries.

Islamic Jihad: "Horrible Massacre"

The Palestinian terrorist organization, "Islamic Jihad" reacted immediately. "The choice of morning prayer as the time for this terrible massacre confirms that the enemy had the intention of killing as many civilians as possible, among them children and the elderly," the Islamic State statement said.

The war between Hamas and Israel erupted after the terrorist attack by Hamas and other militant groups against Israel on October 7. According to Israeli data, about 1,200 people lost their lives there. In addition, about 250 people were taken hostage in Gaza. In response, Israel retaliated with an expanded military operation against the occupied Gaza Strip. According to the data of the Ministry of Health controlled by Hamas, 39,700 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting so far./ DW
