Israeli Strike On Gaza School Kills 100 People During Dawn Prayers

Videos obtained by MEE showed scores of bodies strewn across the floor of the Tabin school in Gaza City after it was targeted in an early morning strike

At least 100 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were killed at dawn on Saturday after Israeli forces targeted a school in Gaza City whilst displaced people performed morning prayers.

Another video appeared to show dozens of bodies covered in cloths and laid out in a courtyard.

The victims of the attack were taken to the partially functioning Maamadani hospital, one of the few operating hospitals in north Gaza.

Moatasem Dalloul, an activist and resident of Gaza City, told Middle East Eye that the hospital does not have enough beds for the wounded and many are being kept in the hallways.

“Israel keeps targeting shelters, but people continue to shelter in these places because their homes have been destroyed in repeated Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip.”

aza's civil defence agency described the attacks as a “horrific massacre” and said three Israeli rockets struck the Tabin school, located in Gaza City's al-Daraj district, whilst Palestinians performed early morning Fajr prayers.

A man at the scene of the massacre, who did not give his name, told MEE: “When we entered the school, we saw body parts all over the prayer hall.”

“The Israeli occupation forces continue to commit massacres against displaced people in shelters because no one in the world is able to stop it,” Dalloul said.

“The ongoing American and western support, financially and militarily, and the silence of the international community encourage Israel to continue committing such crimes against the innocents in the Gaza Strip.”

'Two thousand-pound missile'
Mohammed al-Mughair, director of the supply department of Gaza's civil defence authority, said the Tabin School was housing around 2,400 displaced Palestinians.

“The school was targetted by three missiles, including at least one MK-84 missile, which weighs 2,000 pounds,” Mughair said.

The civil defence said the rockets targeted two floors of the school, with the first striking an area inhabited by displaced women, and the second hitting the ground floor area that was used as a prayer hall.

“The occupation army directly bombed the displaced people while they were performing the dawn prayer,” Gaza's government media office said in a statement.

“Due to the horror of the massacre and the large number of martyrs, medical teams, civil defence, and relief and emergency teams have not been able to recover the bodies of all the martyrs so far,” it added.
