Israel’s military has issued another statement defending its attack on Gaza City’s al-Tabin school, claiming without evidence it served as an “active compound” of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
In the latest statement, the military said it had intelligence indicating there were 20 Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters, including senior commanders, operating from the school.
It also said that the civilian casualty toll given by Gaza’s media office – now at over 100 killed – is “exaggerated”.
As we’ve been reporting, dead and critically wounded victims, including women and children, are pouring into Al-Ahli Arab Hospital with severe shrapnel and burn wounds.
