Strike on Gaza school kills eight

Aug 29, 2024

Tel Aviv [Israel], August 29: Israeli forces attacked a school sheltering displaced people in eastern Deir el-Balah in Gaza, killing eight Palestinians.
During the war, Israel's military has repeatedly targeted schools, often accusing Hamas fighters of hiding out in them.
An Israeli attack on Gaza City's al-Tabin School earlier this month killed more than 100 people, including women, children and the elderly, according to local officials.
The number of people killed in Gaza since the start of the war has risen to 40,534, the Health Ministry in the Strip has said.
It added that 93,778 people have been wounded.
The ministry said Israeli forces killed 58 people and injured 131 in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, a presumed Israeli strike has hit a car near the Syria-Lebanon border, killing at least four people, reports the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The strike targeted the Lebanon-bound vehicle on Syria's Zabadani bridge on the road connecting Damascus to Beirut, the observatory said, without providing information on the victims.
Lebanon's An-Nahar news site shared photos and footage of the attack's aftermath, with thick black smoke rising over a pile of wreckage on the road.
The attack would mark the 60th time Israel has hit Syrian territory this year, according to the observatory.
The European Union's mission in the Red Sea, known as Aspides, said there is no oil spill in the area of the MV SOUNION tanker that was targeted recently off Yemen's coast.
