Tragedy Strikes Gaza School: Palestinian Casualties in Israeli Attack

An Israeli attack on a school in Gaza's Al-Tuffah neighborhood resulted in the deaths of five Palestinians, mostly children. The United Nations facilitated body recovery. The incident adds to the 400 Palestinians killed since October's ceasefire, during which three Israeli soldiers also died.

An Israeli attack on a school in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, led to the tragic deaths of five Palestinians, mostly children, according to Mohamed Abu Selmia, head of Al Shifa Hospital. The victims were displaced individuals seeking shelter.

The Palestinian civil emergency service reported the fatalities and stated that several injured were transported to hospitals for medical care. Bodies were retrieved post-coordination with the Israelis by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

This increase brings the total Palestinian death toll to 400 since October's ceasefire. The Israeli military confirmed the deaths of three soldiers by Palestinian militants within the same timeline.
