Dozens killed in Israeli airstrike on school | DW News

Israel says it's investigating what happened in an IDF airstrike in the Gaza Strip that Palestinians say hit displaced civilians, killing at least 25 people.

The dead included families living in tents outside the UN-run school in the town of Abassan near Khan Younis. Israel has stepped up its bombardments of Hamas militants, who have been regrouping in Gaza. Local health authorities say more than 38,000 people have been killed since the war began after Hamas carried out the October 7 terror attacks.

For more on this, we talk to journalist Karim El-Gawhary, who joins us from Cairo, Egypt.

We also talk to our correspondent in Jerusalem, Tania Krämer.

Did you ever heard from them that they killed fighters?

[brentderkson]

Sinwar said Palestinian casualties were necessary

[horstreichel]

It was a former school acting as shelter for displeased Gazans. If Hamas want Israel to stop attacks, then Hamas should stop fighting, specially in Gazan City areas among civilians... Gazans should stop welcomed Hamas in those areas. Don't blame Israel for what you have brought on yourself

[zawiszaczarny]

So Russia doing the same is bad, but Izrael - it's complicated? i think not...
Targeting civilian buildings it's a blunt warcrime, and everytime that happends somehow Izrael is looking into the "incident"
That is just laughable

[bogdar]

So Hamas now does not want to stop this?

[samueltan]

You guys are killed because of your hamas hiding there

[odengvi]

As usual they claimed as civilians but in reality They are Hamas.

[gavinneke]

Every report is children and women, why?

[Archr]

Israel drops leaflets on the only way to get out.... that route happens to be blocked

gee. how are they paying for their food? Let me guess. Their sons have to fight for hamas and their daughters have to produce future fighters for them

[qf]

Digracefult that hamas hides amoung children. Absolutely despicable

[cmlulcq]

According to untied nations organizations staffs & locals there wasn't any hamas members but then who are firing rockets & destroying Israeli tanks & shooting at Israeli soldiers ?

[hfharryful]

Hamas made tunnels in schools hospitals Mosque..Palestinians pay big price for support Hamas..

[ayadisaif]

Why are you using passive form sentence in your title ?

[qf]

Was it really a school or was it a school above a hamas base?

[leonkrav]

Heartbreaking!
Why does Iran promote the destruction of its expendable militia? What does it gain?

[Doraemon-edjs]

The title of the video clip subliminally make it appear like Israel is the victim. Wow.

[ChigozieAnyim-zghx]

Whatever happened here blame Hamas and not Israel.
