AN ISRAELI strike hit a school in northern Gaza at the weekend, killing at least 22 people.
A further 30 were wounded in Saturday’s attack on the school in the Zeitoun area of Gaza City, the Gaza Health Ministry said in a statement, adding that most of the casualties were women and children.
Associated Press news agency footage showed dozens of people, including children, digging through the rubble of the building, while others gathered around shrouded bodies.
“A missile from the plane hit us, and another missile,” said Ferial Deloul, who is displaced. “We saw the whole world covered with smoke and stones and we saw people and children cut up … What should we do? What is our fault for this to happen to us?”
The Israeli army claimed to have struck a Hamas “command and control centre, which was embedded inside a compound that previously served” as a school.
Also on Saturday, the Gaza Health Ministry said five of its workers had been killed and five others wounded when Israeli fire struck its warehouses in the southern Musbah area.
