Israeli forces targeted Salah al-Din School, a school in the centre of Gaza City, and they targeted a classroom there, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Deir el-Balah, Gaza.

This school was sheltering thousands of Palestinians who already fled from this Israeli siege that has been imposed on them. “All of the people who were in this school came from Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoon, and this is not the first time the Israeli forces targeted this school,” Khoudary says.

This is the fourth time the same school has been targeted.

“We know that there’s a huge fire that erupted in the classroom, and the firefighters and Palestinian Civil Defence teams are trying their best to contain it,” Khoudary says. “But it’s obvious that this school has been packed with Palestinians.”
