Israeli Airstrike on School in Gaza Kills 22 Civilians

Jabalia camp: An Israeli airstrike targeted a school in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least 22 civilians and injuries to dozens more, including women and children. According to Emirates News Agency, the attack occurred at the Abu Hussein Elementary School, which is run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The facility was being used to shelter displaced individuals from the ongoing conflict in the region. The casualties included people who had sought refuge in the school to escape the violence elsewhere. This incident follows another deadly event earlier in the day, where at least three Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on a tent at another school in Deir al-Balah, located in the central Gaza Strip. These consecutive attacks have escalated concerns about the safety of civilian facilities that are typically considered sanctuaries during conflict, particularly those managed by international organizations such as UNRWA.
