Israeli strike kills 17 at Gaza school sheltering displaced families, survivors recount horror

Israeli forces continue bombarding Gaza, killing at least 17 people at a school-turned-shelter in Jabalia as the total blockade of the Strip enters its 71st day. Displaced Palestinians were asleep when Israeli forces carried out a deadly strike on the Fatima Bint Asad School in Gaza’s northern city of Jabalia, a survivor says. “We rushed outside to our neighbours and saw fire raging and spreading everywhere. With us were also displaced families who had nothing left,” the person added. “As we looked to the other side, we discovered numerous martyrs. They had struck the classroom without any prior warning – it was a school classroom – and as a result, 17 innocent lives were lost. These were young, innocent children.” The witness said people in a state of panic and shock rushed to evacuate the area in anticipation for another attack. Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili reports from the attack scene in Jabalia in northern Gaza.
