Israel kills 40 Palestinians in a strike on an UNRWA school sheltering displaced families
At least 40 Palestinians were killed early on Thursday in an Israeli airstrike of an UNRWA school sheltering displaced families in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The Gaza-based government media office said in a statement that 14 of the victims were children and nine were women. Around 74 more were wounded, including 23 children and 18 women, the office added.
The UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini said through his account on X that Israel bombed an UNRWA school that housed thousands of displaced Palestinians during the night, without any warning to the displaced or to the UNRWA.
The Israeli army admitted the bombing in a statement, claiming that it had conducted a “precise strike” on dozens of Palestinian militants who were gathered in a building separate from the location of the civilians. The Gaza government media office denied the Israeli army’s claims.
According to Gaza’s authorities, Thursday’s bombing is the 149th Israeli attack on a displacement shelter since the beginning of the current Israeli assault on Gaza last October. In late May, Israel killed 45 Palestinians, mostly civilians, including many children in a strike on a displaced tent encampment east of Rafah.
Seventeen world leaders, U.S. president, call upon Israel and Hamas to accept ceasefire proposal
A White House statement signed by 17 world leaders including U.S. Preident Joe Biden called upon Israel and Hamas to accept the latest U.S. proposal for a ceasefire and prisoners’ exchange deal on Wednesday.
“At this decisive moment, we call on the leaders of Israel as well as Hamas to make whatever final compromises are necessary to close this deal and bring relief to the families of our hostages, as well as those on both sides of this terrible conflict, including the civilian populations,” the statement read.
The statement was signed by leaders of France, Germany, the UK, Poland, Bulgaria, Canada, Thailand, Austria, Portugal, Denmark, Romania, and Serbia, among others.
Earlier this week, U.S. President Biden announced a framework for a proposed deal that included three phases: a prisoners’ exchange and a ceasefire for six months, followed by a negotiation period during which the ceasefire would continue alongside negotiations and an Israeli withdrawal from populated areas, and ending the beginning of reconstruction works and the total withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Although the White House said that the proposal was designed by Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu said that the announced proposal wasn’t the exact version that his government designed. Both Israel and Hamas expressed readiness to accept the proposal, but haven’t yet formally responded.
Meanwhile, fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian resistance fighters has continued across the Strip. On Thursday, Palestinian fighters infiltrated the Karam Abu Salem crossing area east of Rafah and clashed with Israeli soldiers. The Israeli army admitted one soldier killed and another wounded while announcing that it killed three Palestinian fighters. Palestinian factions have announced targeting several Israeli tanks and armored vehicles in Rafah and Deir al-Balah since Wednesday.
In the north, the Israeli army completed its withdrawal from Jabalia after a three-week invasion of the camp, which was accompanied by intense fighting with Palestinian resistance factions, resulting in casualties in Israeli ranks. Palestinians began to return to Jabalia after Israel’s withdrawal, installing makeshift tents and fixing spaces for living in their destroyed homes.
