Press TV – Oct 11, 2024
At least 28 displaced people, including women and children, have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in central Gaza, while hospitals in the north are ordered to evacuate, amid a major Israeli aggression.
The air raid targeted Rafidah School in Deir al-Balah, which was housing over 1,000 displaced people, on Thursday.
According to medics, the strike killed 28 Palestinians and wounded 54 others.
“We were sitting in peace, in front of the school,” Abu Hamza, who was taking refuge at the site, told Middle East Eye, adding that, a huge explosion “broke through three floors of the building” suddenly.
“The people took refuge here because it was meant to be safe. But there are no safe places. The Israelis are liars,” he said.
Describing the aftermath of the blast, the 34-year-old Nahed al-Zaneen, who teaches displaced children in tents near Rafidah School, said “I get out and all I see is shreds of bodies all over the floor. Heads blown up, innocent children scattered across the floor.”

“What did these children do wrong? Were these children holding missiles? Did they have guns?”
Meanwhile, an Al Jazeera reporter said that children and women “were torn to pieces by the intensity of the strike.”
“I saw with my own eyes lots of bodies that were torn to pieces, making it quite hard to identify them unless family members managed to find out who they were from some signs in their clothing in the hospital morgue,” Abu Azzoum said.
That’s while, Israeli forces have been conducting a major offensive in Jabalia refugee camp, and the nearby towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza since earlier this week.
According to Palestinian health officials, at least 130 people have so far been killed in the offensive.
The Israeli military ordered residents of Jabalia and nearby areas to relocate to the so-called “humanitarian zones” designated by Israel in southern Gaza. Still, Palestinian and UN officials say there are no safe places in the densely populated strip.
The health officials also said the Israeli military on Wednesday ordered the evacuation of Indonesian, Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals, giving patients and medics 24 hours to leave the hospitals or risk being stormed as happened earlier in the attack on Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital.
Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, said eight patients, mostly children with critical shrapnel wounds, were at risk inside intensive-care units should the military force their evacuation, and the hospital was also running out of fuel.
He called for international pressure on the occupying regime to allow medical staffers in the three hospitals to continue to operate.
“Our message is a message of peace for the sake of those children,” Abu Safiya said.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed more than 42,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured tens of thousands of others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.

Joos moan about how unsafe they feel in Nazi UK. I remember Maureen Lipman spouting off years ago that she and he friends no longer feel safe in Nazi Britain, and they were going to leave for greener pastures.
Well, the nasty Joo bitch is still in Nazi UK. Maybe she can find a couple of bedrooms in her mansion for a Palestinian family?
I never thought I’d reach the point where I’d advocate the deportation of all Joos from the UK. I don’t care where they go. I believe there are many, many deserted towns and settlements in Northern Israel for them to set up shop.
Like UKraine, I hope it kicks of big time in the Middle East. No matter what the consequences, there comes a point in time, when you need to stand up and be counted.
The elite Nazis believe Joos in Western Nazi nations are safe. Well, I think this is coming to an end.
I realise most ordinary Joos are not directly responsible for what’s going on, but Nazi Israelis don’t care, or even consider ordinary Palestinians, because Joos see everyone as sub-human. Now it’s time to flip the coin.
from last november on destroying all israeli
airplanes had the utmost prejority . bombing
holes in the runways is no solution . the jews
laugh about this ,quick repair . destroy all
airplanes and new american jets what follow !
this empty missiles are ridiculous !
tactical nukes are the only solution . israhell
has plenty of them .
These ‘right to defend themselves’ things are not people. People have sensibilities, and an inclination to decency.These things do not. They are walking-talking obscenities. No matter what the consequences might me, I wish Iran would nuke them to hell. Now.
over 700 foreign aid workers doctors and nurses
have been killed in the israeli bombings
its time we the British hit back
we must start by burning down synagogues and the homes
of prominent jews here in the UK
the jews are mainly tarbeting children schools and hospitals
same as Churchill did in w w 2
In the second world war we went to the aid of jewish communism in russia
and we bombed gerrmany when they offered to fight communism with us
we bombed our allies, gerrmany
Hitler would have stopped the jews and communism, it was madness
please remove that idiot carl jones
hes just a stupid twat
Why are these actors carrying a white plastic tarp/bag on a cart ,pulled by a mule?there is a shiny ambulance standing next to the mule.the bag or sheet is just un/folded,there is no creases in it.from handling dead weight.no blood or dirt either.it is a new bag.the ambulance doesn’t look it is preparing to take the bag either?
The ‘bed liner’ on the cart is dirty ,but the bag is factory fresh.? How do they fill their gas tanks,gaxa is closed from the outside world.do they have petrol storages/reserves.not blown up by israel?
The surrounding area of this hospital doesn’t look like a warzone.houses still standing,clean paint.the palm trees healthy and green.the flimsy roof over the ambulance still suspended,not blown away or damaged.the satellite dishes still on the roofs.in a dense area that is heavily bombed for a year.especially hospitals are targeted by the jews,but this one not?
Ambulance number 10.the cameraman says 10,not cheese,say 10……..why is the body handler wearing a beanie ,in the hot sun?
Carl Jones–you are like a Rubik’s Cube before it gets sorted into the six colours
@LIAR
it is probably an old picture from times when
in this place still everything was in order + they
still had a card with a mule . also the people still
look very relaxed . old picture of better times .
Don’t they have stretchers? This is the way a butcher (un)loads the carcass of an animal.humans don’t manipulate their dead in this rude manner.like dead meat,or a dummy.
I saw with my own eyes lots of bodies that were torn to pieces, making it quite hard to identify them unless family members ……..where is the video?your testimony made it all the way to this site.but the video not.where is the video?as pictured above there’s a many with smartphones.
