Attack hit school and children's hospital in Gaza - April 23, 2025
AN Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced families in northern Gaza killed at least 10 people, while another hit a children's hospital, local health authorities said, taking Wednesday's death toll to 20.
Reuters cited medics saying today that the airstrike on the Yaffa School in the Tuffah area of Gaza City set fire to tents and classrooms. There has been no Israeli comment on the school attack.
Some furniture was still in flames several hours after the strike as people sifted through blackened classrooms and the schoolyard in search of their belongings.
“We were sleeping and suddenly something exploded, we started looking and found the whole school on fire, the tents here and there were on fire, everything was on fire," said eyewitness, Um Mohammed Al-Hwaiti.
"People were shouting and men were carrying people, charred (people), charred children, and were walking and saying: ‘Dear God, dear God, we have no one but you.’ What can we say? Dear God, only,” she told Reuters.
Medics said at least 10 other people were killed in separate Israeli strikes across the enclave.
Since a January ceasefire collapsed on March 18, Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,600 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health authorities, and hundreds of thousands have been forced from their homes as Israel seized what it calls a buffer zone of Gaza's land.
On Wednesday, the Gaza Health Ministry said an Israeli missile also hit the upper building of the Durra Children's Hospital in Gaza City, damaging the intensive care unit and destroying the solar panel system that feeds the facility with power. No one was killed in the hospital strike.
Gaza's healthcare system is close to collapse due to an Israeli blockade on all supplies to Gaza, including fuel and electricity, since the beginning of March, when it relaunched military operations.
It says the blockade is aimed at pressuring the Hamas militants who run Gaza to release 59 remaining Israeli hostages captured in the October 2023 attacks that precipitated the war. Hamas says it is prepared to free them but only as part of a deal that ends the war.
The health ministry said many Palestinian victims of Israeli military strikes remained trapped under rubble and on the roads, as rescue teams are unable to reach them because of ongoing bombardments. The attacks have also hit dozens of bulldozers and machinery used to clear roads, remove debris and to carry out rescue operations.
The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had hit 40 "engineering vehicles" that were used for "terrorist actions", including Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Some of those heavy vehicles were parked on the road and others inside the garages of municipalities.
“The machinery, because they open the streets and retrieve martyrs from under the houses. For a year now, some people have still not been retrieved from under the rubble," said Gaza man Nasser Mohammed Nasser, standing close to the mangled skeletons of destroyed bulldozers and trucks in Jabalia, in the north of the enclave.
Even before Tuesday's Israeli attack, Palestinians had complained they were short of heavy machinery, accusing Israel of refusing to allow the equipment into Gaza in violation of the January ceasefire deal.

Ishmael you already have 99.99% of the ME, just recognize your brother Isaac’s 0.01% and the killing will stop. This was what God said in Genesis. Don’t be so tamak. Nobody disputes Ishmael’s ownership of the holy sites Mecca and Medina. Jerusalem is specifically named in the Judeo/Christian Bible more than 100 times as belonging to Isaac. Show where in your Holy Book that it belongs to you? Is it even mentioned once? When Isaac prays he faces Jerusalem. When Ishmael prays he turns his back on Jerusalem and face Mecca. This says something Why can’t you be gracious to your brother? And if there are any Canaanites out there who wants to claim ownership please step forward.
ReplyDeleteThousands of Syrians, Yemenis, Sudanese have been/are being killed, starved, millions made homeless but these are not important issues. When they fight and kill each other nobody bothers. Why? Let me suggest an answer: No Jews involved.
ReplyDeleteTo call a fellow Muslim a dog is the ultimate insult. But that was what Mahboob Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Authority (PA) said.

But PA also has a Martyr's Fund, and amongst others, in 2016 paid $173 million to 35,100 families of suicide bombers, the stipend is higher than the average Palestinian wage. This is according to their own figures, not "Zionist propaganda". They proudly boast about it.

So to those of you who sapot the Two State Solution, will you share your house, macam room mate lah with someone who pays money to kill you and your children?
Walau-eh, yr zionist sources do provide u with all sorts of mfering propagandas for u to fart about.
DeleteOoop… why don't u doublechecked with alternative sources? Or u only feed from yr master's hand?
Likewise with yr no brainer fart of "will you share your house, macam room mate lah with someone who pays money to kill you and your children?"
DeleteThat's exactly how the Palestinians feel about those mfering zionists who r forcefully occupying their lands.
