Israeli Attacks Kill Dozens in Gaza, Including 8 at School Sheltering Displaced Palestinians

HeadlineAug 28, 2024

Israeli attacks on the central and southern Gaza Strip have killed dozens of Palestinians over the past day. Among the dead are six people who were killed when an Israeli airstrike tore through residential buildings in the city of Khan Younis.

Alaa al-Najjar: “A house was bombed, filled with residents. It had about 100 people in it — displaced people who came from Rafah and the cities around Khan Younis. They were all bombed by F-16s. They were all children and women, all children who have no relation to the resistance or anything else. The Israeli military is committing a genocide.”

In another attack, Israeli forces struck a school sheltering displaced people in Deir al-Balah, killing eight Palestinians. And earlier today, Israeli forces killed Palestinian photojournalist Mohammed Abd Rabbo and his sister in an airstrike on their home in the Nuseirat refugee camp. The Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate says Israel has killed at least 161 media workers since October 7.

On Tuesday, the United Nations warned Israel’s continued assault on Gaza has severely hampered aid efforts and is disrupting plans to launch a mass vaccination campaign against polio next week.
