An international human rights group said at least 267 Palestinians have lost their lives as Israeli strikes targeted 21 schools sheltering displaced people in August.
Israel bombed more than 20 schools sheltering displaced civilians in Gaza
At least 22 Palestinians were killed early Saturday when Israeli fighter jets hit a school housing displaced civilians in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City, according to local authorities.
 
The Government Media Office said in a statement that those killed in the Israeli “horrific massacre” included 13 children, six women, and a three-month-old baby.
 
At least 30 people were wounded, the health ministry said, including several who suffered severe burns. Two people remain missing.
 
According to the Euro-Med Human Rights, a Geneva-based rights group, the attack “is a new crime to be added to a series of potential war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip.”
 
It called Israeli attacks on schools housing displaced people “a blatant violation of the principles of distinction, military necessity, and proportionality.”
 
The organization criticized Israeli attempts to justify its attacks on schools and shelters in Gaza.
 
The rights group also dismissed the Israeli army's allegations that it targeted gunmen during its attacks on schools, saying, “No evidence was given to prove the validity of the Israeli claims.”
