Gaza’s civil defense agency said on Saturday that at least 14 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed overnight in Israeli air strikes, while the Israeli army eliminated dozens of militants in the north of the area.

Civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal said that the tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the southern region of Khan Younis were hit in an air strike, killing at least nine people, including children and women.

The Palestinian Red Crescent also confirmed the death toll, saying that 11 people were injured in the attack and were taken to Nasser Hospital.

“A second airstrike killed five people, including children, and injured about 22 others when Israeli warplanes hit the Fahad Al-Sabah school, which had been converted into a shelter for “thousands of displaced people” in the Al-Tuffah district of Gaza City,” Bassal said. .

It was stated that the dead and injured were taken to Al Ahli Arab Hospital.

In recent months, the army has attacked several schools that have been converted into schools where Israel says Palestinian militants operate.

The statement said, “Military structures, weapons storage facilities and launchers were among the targets hit.”
