Scores reported dead in Gaza school shelter as Israel says it bombed militants
Reuters ^ | 08/10/24 | By Nidal Al-Mughrabi

*Hamas-run Gaza authority says around 100 Palestinians dead

* Arab countries condemn airstrike

* Israel disputes figures, says Hamas was using school complex to fight

* Question-mark over fresh peace talks due to start on Thursday


An Israeli airstrike on a Gaza school compound housing displaced families killed around 100 people, the Hamas-run Gaza government said on Saturday, while the Israeli military said it had targeted Hamas militants and cast doubt on the Palestinian death toll.

Video from the site showed body parts scattered on the ground and more bodies being carried away and covered in blankets on the floor. Empty food tins lay in a puddle of blood and burnt mattresses and a child's doll lay among the debris.

In another video, men prayed over a dozen body bags laid out on the ground. It was not immediately clear whether all the videos were filmed on the ground floor of the Tabeen school complex, in Gaza City.

Gaza's Hamas-run media office said in a statement that the complex was attacked when people sheltering there were performing dawn prayers.

"So far, there are more than 93 martyrs, including 11 children and six women. There are unidentified remains," Palestinian Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal told a televised press conference.

Around 350 families had been sheltering at the compound, Bassal said - some of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced from their homes by Israel's onslaught on Gaza.

The upper floor housing families and the lower floor, used as a mosque, were both hit, he said. The Gaza health ministry did not immediately provide casualty details.

The Israeli military said the death toll was inflated and that around 20 militants had been operating at the site.

Sometimes children, even infants, can be militants.

“Hamas run authority says”.... anything that follows this statement is a lie, not need to read further.

An 8 yr old can kill you as well as an 18 year old can. Butt, no doubt all innocent civilians.

This is war.

During WWII the Allies carpet bombed entire cities. We have no room to condemn Israel. This is a war of survival for Israel.

Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, the Palestinians have the power within them to end this at any time by simply announcing Israel has the right to exist and stop trying to kill them.

If they mean it the war ends.

So 100 hamas soldiers were killed? They claim to be Palestinians right?

First of all, they’ve said “we love death” in the past. Why the sudden change in attitude?

Second, I’ll wait for the details to come out. These are people who put their command centers under hospitals and day-care centers.

This is an example of why using civilians as human shields is a war crime. The responsibility for civilian deaths is completely on those doing so.

More dead terrorists. Job’s not done yet, nor have the hostages been released.

A militant stronghold disguised as a school.

Hamas using human shields again. What a surprise.

**If Hamas says something, I don’t believe it.**

Doesn’t their book tell them it’s ok to lie if it furthers the goals set forth in their religion?

Kinda like Saul Alinsky’s book.

It’s true. My older son in particular used explosive diarrhea as a terror weapon when he was an infant
