Israeli strike on a school in northern Gaza on Saturday killed at least 22 people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, while the Israeli army said it targeted a Hamas command center in what used to be a school.
Another 30 were wounded in the strike on the school in the Zeitoun area of Gaza City, the ministry said in a statement. Most of the casualties were women and children, it said. It wasn't immediately clear which hospital the dead and injured were taken to.
Video taken by The Associated Press showed dozens of people including children digging through the rubble of the building — its ceilings caved in, walls knocked out and a mess of wires and metal rods visible. Outside, others gathered around shrouded bodies. Some covered their faces as they wept for relatives killed in the strike.
«A missile, a missile from the plane hit us, and another missile,» said Ferial Deloul, who is displaced. «We saw the whole world covered with smoke and stones and we saw people and children cut up.… What should we do? What is our fault for this to happen to us?»
The Israeli army said earlier Saturday that it struck Hamas' «command and control center, which was embedded inside a compound that previously served» as a school. It said steps were taken to limit harming civilians, including using precise munitions and aerial surveillance.
