Burnt bodies found in school, 17 Palestinians killed in a few hours

Gaza’s civil defense agency said on Wednesday that its team recovered charred bodies from a school that serves as a shelter for displaced people. With this, 17 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in the morning.

Campaign started in March

Israel resumed its military operation in Gaza on March 18. The war has resumed after the breakdown of a two-month ceasefire. Civil defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal informed on Wednesday, “17 people have been killed since morning.” He said that 11 victims, including women and children, were killed in an air strike targeting the Yafa school building in the al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza city.

Many bodies recovered

He said, “Displaced people were kept in the school. The bomb blast caused a fierce fire and since then many burnt bodies have been recovered. Since the war began after the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, thousands of displaced Gazans have taken refuge in schools to escape the violence. Let us tell you, more than 51 thousand people have lost their lives in Gaza since October 7.

According to reports, 2.4 million people have been displaced due to this war. Basal said that his team has received information about the crisis from many areas of Gaza. He said, “We lack the necessary items to conduct effective rescue operations or recover the bodies of the martyrs.

Israeli army made a big claim on Tuesday

On Tuesday, the Israeli army said it had targeted about 40 “engineering vehicles”, alleging that they were being used for “terrorist purposes”. Basel said the airstrikes destroyed bulldozers and other equipment needed to clear rubble and retrieve bodies of martyrs from beneath the rubble, as well as to save lives and rescue people from the rubble.
