In the Gaza Strip, at least eight Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike earlier today as they lined up for bread. The attack struck the front of a U.N.-operated school being used to shelter thousands of displaced people in the Jabaliya refugee camp. The massacre followed the killing of 11 Palestinians Sunday in an Israeli attack on the Safad school in Gaza City. Rescue workers say a woman and a girl were among those killed.

Mahmoud Basal: “The occupation forces have struck the western wing of the school, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries among the displaced civilians sheltering there. We are witnessing a true massacre and extremely harrowing scenes. Civil Defense and medical teams are working to recover bodies and save as many lives as possible, but the situation is deeply tragic, and the reality we face here is extremely difficult.”
