Israel has killed nearly 200 people in 12 attacks on schools so far in October
So far in October alone, Israel has killed 192 people in 12 attacks against schools, most of which have now been converted into reception camps for people displaced by the war. The army of that country justifies its attacks against educational centers by arguing that Hamas command positions operate from there and that therefore they are legitimate targets.
These are all the attacks that Israel has carried out against schools in the Gaza Strip so far this month:
October 1 – Bombing against the Shejaiya school, in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, in Gaza City, in the center of the Strip. The attack killed seven people and injured 40, according to data from the Gaza Civil Defense.
