Mahmoud Basel, a member of Gaza’s Civil Defence, has slammed what he called the world’s silence as Israel continues to attack schools-turned-shelters in the enclave, Al Jazeera reports.

“Attacking and targeting the schools are ongoing crimes committed by the Israeli forces. The entire world is watching silently as our shelters and schools, which host displaced people, are being targeted,” he said.

The comments came after Israeli forces bombed the Halawa school in Jabalia, killing at least eight people.

Israel claimed it was targeting Hamas fighters inside the school, but offered no evidence to back the claim.
