JERUSALEM: Israel’s government said its forces struck Friday a UN- run class near Gaza City, the next for service hit within two days, with the Hamas- run government media office reporting three fatalities.
The UNRWA-run class, which was located in the northern Gaza refugee camp, was home to Hamas “terrorists,” according to the troops, who were operating from a box there.
Three people were killed and seven were injured when an Israeli aircraft struck the university, according to the media business.
On Thursday an Israeli hit hit another UNRWA class, in northern Gaza, where a doctor said 37 people had been killed.
During the eight-month conflict between Israel and Hamas, UNRWA’s services have been transformed into shelters for displaced civilians throughout the place.
Hamas and another Gaza extremists have been repeatedly accused of hiding in universities and hospitals by the Israeli army, a demand that the organization has refuted.
Hamas in a speech urged an international inspection “into these offences” and demanded “accountability and abuse” for Jewish officials.
Some UNRWA buildings have ample room for a large crowd, and Gazans have sought shelter there because they believed UN facilities were comparatively safe from assault.
However, UNRWA representative Juliette Touma claimed on Friday that “over 180 UNRWA infrastructure, including several homes for displaced persons, have been hit since the war started.”
” As a result, more than 440 people have been killed while sheltering under the UN flag”, she said.
Touma added that UNRWA and all of its partners in Gaza share the location coordinates for all of its buildings, including the Jewish troops.
The war broke out after Hamas’s extraordinary October 7 assault on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1, 194 persons, mostly residents, according to a score based on Jewish official statistics.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed at least 36, 731 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the Hamas- run territory’s health ministry.
