Israeli army admits to targeting Buraq School in Gaza
Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a statement that the military killed Hamas members who “held about a thousand residents of the Gaza Strip hostage in the Rantisi hospital during the fighting.”
Ahmed Siam was killed when he “hid in a Buraq school,” where a number of Hamas fighters under his command “hid and were killed along with him,” he claimed, but admitted to the attack on the Buraq School, where dozens of displaced civilians had taken shelter to escape the heavy bombing of Israeli forces.
“At least 25 people died in Israel’s attack on the school,” Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director general of the Al-Shifa Hospital told Al-Jazeera.
Meanwhile, Hamas stated that “more than 50 Palestinians died in the Israeli army attack against the displaced civilians on Salah al-Din Road and the Buraq School.”
Israel has killed at least 11,078 Palestinians, including 4,506 children and 3,027 women, in relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip — including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship — since a cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7.
