Israeli forces killed at least 16 Palestinian orphans and widows after bombing a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City on Saturday, according to local officials.
The orphans and widows had arrived at the Zeitoun C school in southern Gaza City to receive cash assistance as part of a charity orphan sponsorship programme.
“The women and their children were sitting in the playground of the school, the kids were playing and suddenly two rockets hit them,” Said al-Malahi, a witness, told Reuters.
Another witness, Ahmed Azzam, told the news agency he did not see a single man among the wounded. “It was all women and children,” he said.
The Israeli military confirmed carrying out the deadly attack, saying it was a “precise strike” on “terrorists”.
So you’re saying Hezbollah hid military equipment at a school? You do realize that’s not a school anymore, it’s a military base, right?
This is what they do. They’re cowards who hide behind women and children. They kill civilians and whine when they get killed themselves.
Israelis are monsters who must be stopped by any means
Your house is now a military base.
