– There are ten martyrs and several injured after an Israeli attack on the Hamama school, said spokesman Mahmud Bassal to the AFP news agency.
The school housed Palestinians forced to flee their homes in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, according to Bassal.
The Israeli military confirmed the attack, claiming the school was used by terror-labeled Hamas to manufacture weapons, adding that it was a “hideout for terrorists”.
The Israeli military has repeatedly accused Hamas of using civilian facilities as command and control centers or to hide its commanders. The Palestinian terrorist group denies the allegations.
