Israel targets ANOTHER Gaza school: Tank strike kills 15 Palestinians and injures 90 others in UN classrooms used as refugee shelter

At least 15 people have been killed in a tank shell attack on a United Nations school in Gaza, where hundreds of Palestinians had taken refuge from Israeli bombardment.

Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said another 90 Palestinians were wounded in the shelling early today.

Adnan Abu Hasna, a spokesman for a UN aid agency, said tank shells hit the Abu Hussein school in the Jabaliya refugee camp at about 4.30am.

Shocking toll: Several Israeli tank shells slammed into the crowded UN school used as shelter for refugees in Gaza, a Palestinian health official and a UN official said

Carnage: Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra said at least 15 people were killed and another 90 Palestinians were wounded in the shelling

Targeting the innocent: The deadly strike came a day after Israel unleashed its heaviest air and artillery assault in the bloodiest day of the three-week Gaza war

A large round hole was left in the ceiling of one classroom and in one of the bathrooms. In another classroom, the strike had blown out the front wall.

The main U.N. agency in Gaza, UNRWA, said more than 167,000 displaced Palestinians had taken shelter in its schools and buildings, following calls by Israel for civilians to evacuate whole neighbourhoods ahead of military operations.

The deadly strike came a day after Israel unleashed its heaviest air and artillery assault in the bloodiest day of the three-week Gaza war, destroying key symbols of Hamas control, shutting down the territory's only power plant and leaving at least 128 Palestinians dead.

It also also comes days after eight Palestinian children were killed playing on swings in the Shati refugee camp on the edge of Gaza City when a huge explosion obliterated the site.

Since July 8, more than 1,100 Gazans, most of them civilians, have been killed in the conflict. On the Israeli side, 53 soldiers have been killed as well as three civilians.

Palestinian medics said two adults were also killed in the blast, which witnesses said was an Israeli air strike.

However, Israel denied responsibility, claiming it was a misfire of a rocket launched by Hamas militants.

Get used to them, this is war, and in modern warfare, the civilians hold the greatest death toll.

You'll still be able to find sell souls that would go any length to provide justifications, ready to defend Israel and her actions a 100 times more than israeli posters. At that point one thinks, how much humanity is left in them if any.

Extremely shocking. Rest in Peace. If such a thing exists.

Why?
Schools and other associated facilities are used by terrorists globally to use as hideouts or center of operations in the expectation that Governments will not target them.

Hamas is a particularly vicious terrorist organization that revels in getting Palestinians killed by using hospitals and civilian crowded places as well. Hamas has been using schools for a while.

Dude, when you have the most modern assets at hand........... then caution is the way to go............... nothing, I mean nothing justifies the murder of children.

This is pure murder / war crime, and we all know that the Israeli's will get away with it. Not kosher dude. Not kosher!

That's an important question, once you've termed Hamas as a terrorist organisation then you need to assume that they will defy the laws dictating conduct in warfare, after that you need to gauge whether you can do the same. If you know they are holed up in a school with kids inside and you know they don't care how many of them end up dead, is it still right to hit that school?

I ask a simple question:
Why should Israel be held to a different standard than Hamas WHEN Hamas, as brutal as it is is still considered kosher by 99.99% of Muslims.

And despite the fact that Hamas likes to get Palestinians killed and using it for PR by using Palestinian hospitals and crowded areas for attacking Israel and hoping exactly this - that they will be spared of reprisals because they are using civilians as a shield.

Would you like them to get away with this? Or teach them that hiding behind civilians is only likely to get the civilians and killed as well along with them.
