Israeli strike on the school kills 27, says the Ministry of Health

At least 27 Palestinians were killed at the Israeli Air strike at a school in northern Gaza, which served as a shelter for displaced family, says the Hamas Ministry of Health.

Dozens were more wounded when Dar Al-Arqam School in the northeast District of Tuffah in the City of Gaza was hit, according to a local hospital.

The Israeli army announced that she had hit “distinguished terrorists who were at the Hamas Command Command and Control Center” in the city without mentioning school.

The Ministry of Health has previously reported on the murder of 97 more people in Israeli attacks in the previous 24 hours, because Israel said its ground offensive is expanding to capture large parts of the Palestinian territory.

A spokesman for the Civil Protection Agency in Hamas Gaza, Mahmoud Bassal, said that children and women were among the dead after the strike at the Dar Al-Arqam School.

He also said that a woman who was very pregnant with the twins missed with her husband, her sister and three children.

A video from the nearby Al-Ahli hospital showed that children were taken there in cars and trucks with serious injuries.

The statement of Israeli defense forces (IDF) states that the place in the city of Gaza was hit by Hamas for the planning of attack against Israeli civilians and troops.

He added that numerous steps were taken to relieve the damage to civilians.

At least 12 people were killed overnight when several homes hit the eastern neighborhood of Shejaiya Gaza, a civilian defense said.

He posted a video showing the bodies of two young children who pulled the rescuers from the remains of a demolished building.

The witness, who asked not to name him, said the program BBC Arabic’s Gaza Lifeline that he slept when he “suddenly shook him off the violent explosion and discovered that this was happening in the house of our neighbors, the Ayyad family.”

There was no immediate comment from IDF, but on Thursday morning he ordered the residents of Shejaiya and four neighboring areas to immediately evacuate the city of Western Gaza, warning that he was “acting with great force … destroy the terrorist infrastructure.”

This week, IDF issued similar evacuation commands for several areas of the northern Gaza, as well as the entire southern city of Rafah and parts of neighboring Khan Younis, which encouraged about 100,000 Palestinians to escape, according to the UN.

On March 18, Israel renewed its air bombing and a ground offensive in Gaza, after the first phase of agreement on a statement and laying down hostages agreed with Hamas in January and negotiations on the second phase of the agreement that stopped.

The main spokesman for the IDF, Brig-Gag Effie Defrin, said on Thursday at Brifing that his surgery had “advanced to the second phase” in recent days.

“We have expanded surgery in southern Gaza with the aim of environment and sharing areas of Rafah,” he said. “In the northern gauze of our troops, they act against terrorist goals, cleaning areas and dismantling of terrorist infrastructure.”

He added that in the last two weeks of Israeli forces, more than 600 “terrorist goals” have hit more than a gauze and “eliminated more than 250 terrorists”.

Prior to the strike in Tuffah, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that at least 1,163 were killed in the same period. UN agency said they include more than 300 children.

On Wednesday night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces establish another military corridor to cut off Rafah from Khan Younis.

He claimed that the military pressure would force Hamas to release the remaining 59 hostages he holds, of which up to 24 are believed to be alive.

However, Hamas said he would not deal with the latest proposal of Israel for a new truce, which is said to be coordinated with the USA, one of the intermediaries in the negotiations.

The Palestinian group announced that it only accepted the plan that had outlined two other intermediaries, Qatar and Egypt, on a 50-day truck.

The complete details of this plan have not been discovered, but it is understood that the regional proposal will be released by five hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, withdrawing Israeli forces from parts of Gaza, where the influx of humanitarian aids have recently removed. There would also be negotiations to end the war.

Israel wants a larger number of hostages to be released at the beginning of the new truce.

In the second development on Thursday, the IDF said that the mechanism for determining the facts of general staff explored the murder by Israeli forces of 15 Palestinian workers in an emergency near Rafah on March 23, as well as their burial in what the UN official described as a “mass grave”.

“We want to have all the facts in the correct way and we can consider those responsible people if we need to,” the IDF spokesman said.

Palestinian paramedic who survived the attack, speaking to the BBC, challenged Israeli account Of the way five ambulance vehicles, a fire engine and a UN vehicle released while responding to emergency calls.

The army said that vehicles were “suspiciously progressing” toward their troops without the front lights or emergency signals. It was also said that Hamas are operational and “eight other terrorists” among the killed, but only one.

The survivors, Munther Abed, insisted that “all the lights were lit” until the vehicles were under direct fire. He also rejected the military claim that Hamas may have used an ambulance as a cover, saying that all emergency workers were civilians in emergency.
