CAIRO/JERUSALEM, July 27 (Reuters) - At least 30 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a school in Deir al Balah in central Gaza, Palestinian health officials said, and the Israeli military said it had struck a Hamas command centre.

Earlier on Saturday, Palestinian official media said that at least 14 Palestinians were killed by Israeli attacks since dawn in the southern city of Khan Younis and that their bodies were brought to Nasser Medical Complex.

In Al-Bureij refugee camp, five Palestinians were killed earlier in an Israeli air strike on a house, while four others were killed in another strike on a house in Rafah, near the border with Egypt, medics said.

U.N. and humanitarian officials accuse Israel of using disproportionate force in the war and of failing to ensure civilians have safe places to go, which it denies.

Zero coverage of this but wall to wall coverage of Hizbullah's alleged strike in the Golan.

There has never been a more shameful display of double standards.

So it's OK to bomb and burn a hospital just because you think there's weapons and hostages in there? That's some Russia type logic if i ever heard it. I wonder what side you were on while Russia bombed Ukrainian hospitals.

IDF also dressed up as doctors and nurses during one raid. Most moral army in the world, folks.

Israel has killed more than 15,000 children, this is another one of the hundreds of schools and that Israel has bombed during this genocide.

By June 19, 2024, 37,396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The Ministry's figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.
