Local Palestinian sources had reported on Friday that at least six Palestinians were martyred and others injured as a result of an Israeli occupation air strike targeting a school near Al-Durra Hospital in Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City.

The sources explained that the raid occurred while the school was sheltering hundreds of displaced people, leading to a state of panic and widespread destruction in the building's facilities, which is used as a shelter for families fleeing military operations.

Eyewitnesses stated that the Israeli bombing focused on the second floor of the school building, at a sensitive time when a wedding ceremony was being held in its corridors, turning manifestations of joy into a tragedy after the fall of the dead and wounded among civilians.
