The White House is “deeply concerned” about reports of civilian deaths in Gaza related to Israel striking a school in Gaza City that killed at least 80 people, saying the strike “underscores the urgency of a ceasefire.”

“We are deeply concerned about reports of civilian casualties in Gaza following a strike by the Israel Defense Forces on a compound that included a school,” NSC spokesperson Sean Savett wrote in a statement to The Hill. “We are in touch with our Israeli counterparts, who have said they targeted senior Hamas officials, and we are asking for further details.

Kommie Harris needs to demand that all hostages need to be released and Gaza become a demilitarized zone.

I wonder. Are they also “deeply concerned” about the Banglededhis being slaughtered by the jihadi maniacs?
And, of course, the reports of Gazan deaths are from Hamas, thus lies.

If there were armed HAMAS and their supporters there, it is a legit target. Shame on others going there, bring their children as human shields.

“After we received clear intelligence of the threat posed by these terrorists, and in accordance with international humanitarian law, we took numerous steps to mitigate the risk to civilians. The IDF conducted a precision strike against the terrorists in one specific building of the compound—an area where according to our intelligence, no women and children were present.”

Schools and hospitals are supposed to be DMZs. But Hamas just see them as human shields. And the Palis think it an honor to die for the cause.

You are wrong about that. The Patriot missile system was a gift from Israel, their avionics are a class above all in the world,
So is their medical field, I could go on and on.

the Naxis and Commies in WashDC are scared that the Jewish people are really going to survive this attack this time

and put an end to future IslamoNaizi mass murder raids on their civilians, too

well, Nazis and Commies around the world, go ahead and keep wailing against the Jews

they winning, you losing

and soon you’ll be on your way to Hell, too

A start is to release all the Oct 7 hostages, both living and dead.

Then destroy all your tunnels and munitions.

The Israelis have released on social media the video of before and after on the attacks which shows the precise and limited damage done to one small building.

Why can’t our WH for one d@mn time call out the Hamass holes on their BS propaganda?

When I first heard this it was a Mosque, now its a school. Is it a religious school? Was it used to stash weapons? I would like to know the truth—if that is even possible.
