Israel kills 7 Palestinians sheltering in college building in Gaza City
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – At least seven Palestinians have been killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a college building housing displaced people in Gaza City, a medical source confirmed.
The attack targeted the Namaa College building, where hundreds of displaced Palestinians had taken shelter northwest of Gaza City, the source added.
“There is a threat from the Israeli army to strike the college again,” the Palestinian Civil Defense Agency warned in a statement.
According to witnesses, one of the college buildings was destroyed in the Israeli attack.
“The targeted area was crowded with residents and displaced people,” an eyewitness reported.
Israel has frequently targeted schools, hospitals, and places of worship in its war on Gaza.
Under the rules of war, targeting such civilian facilities constitutes a war crime.
Israel has killed more than 40,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 94,300, according to local health authorities.
An ongoing blockade of Gaza has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
