Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre on Tuesday evening, bombing a school housing displaced persons east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens.

According to local sources, at least 17 civilians were killed and dozens more were injured, including women and children, in an Israeli airstrike on the Abu Hamisa School yard east of the Bureij refugee camp. The dead and wounded were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah and Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat.

The sources indicated that at least seven children were among the dead, who were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital. The sources noted that the bodies of the martyrs were thrown over the school buildings due to the intensity of the shelling.

Earlier, two citizens were killed and others injured when the occupation forces bombed the Bashir family's home, near Al-Mazra'a School, southeast of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
