Palestine's Shehab news agency said about 50 Palestinians were killed as the Israeli regime launched a missile attack on the al-Buraq School in Gaza.
The director of al-Shifa Hospital, where the casualties had been taken, also said around 50 people were martyred by Israeli strikes on the Palestinian school.
"About 50 martyrs were recovered from inside al-Buraq school... in the al-Nasr neighborhood in Gaza after missile and artillery strikes that targeted the school this morning," said Mohammad Abu Salmiya, the al-Shifa Hospital director.
Hamas described Israeli attacks on civilians as a “disgrace in the face of humanity”, saying in a Friday statement that “Our people will not be defeated by these criminal, fascist actions.”
It said these attacks, which ignored “all international humanitarian laws” and are supported by the US administration, will not break the Palestinian people and the “resistance.”
Israel’s brutal onslaught on Gaza since October 7 has claimed more than 11,000 innocent lives in the besieged territory.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross warned on Friday that the healthcare system in war-ravaged Gaza has "reached a point of no return" after Israel’s incessant bombardment of the blockaded Strip.
The occupying regime has over the past weeks launched various strikes on Gaza’s medical and educational facilities as part of its month-long onslaught on the besieged area.
Tel Aviv has so far defied international calls to implement a ceasefire aimed at taking Palestinian civilians, including women and children, out of harm’s way.
