At least 28 people were killed and over 50 people were wounded on Thursday in a horrific Israeli attack on a girls’ school turned shelter for the displaced in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
The attack on Rufaida Girls’ High School was the third Israeli attack on schools in Deir al-Balah over the past week – the others were on the Ahmed al-Kurd school on 5 October, and al-Ayesha school on 3 October.
