Israel conducted an airstrike on Thursday on displaced people taking shelter in Rofayda school in the crowded city of Deir al-Balah on Thursday.

Iran Press/ West Asia: The reports say that twenty-eight Palestinians were confirmed killed, and over 90 others were injured.

Thousands of people were taking shelter in the school building before it was targeted, the Gaza Government Media Office said in a statement on Thursday afternoon. 

Deir al-Balah is sheltering nearly a million Palestinians displaced from their homes across the strip, according to the government office.

Footage of Rofayda school following the airstrikes showed hundreds of displaced people searching alongside civil defense in the rubble for the body parts of many people still missing after the strike. 

Since Israel launched a new war on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, the Israeli-occupied territories have been on high alert

The aggression has so far claimed the lives of more than 42,000 people and wounded at least 97,700 others, most of them women and children, in an incomplete toll as thousands of missing persons are still under the rubble.
