GAZA: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News- August 10th, 2024) An Israeli airstrike targeting Palestinians while they were praying has resulted in the deaths of more than 100 people, including women and children, in Gaza.
According to reports from Arab media, over 250 Palestinians were observing Fajr prayers at a school located in a refugee camp in the al-Daraj area of northern Gaza when the Israeli forces launched their attack. The bombing led to the death of over 100 individuals.
The report indicates that three bombs, each weighing 2,000 Pounds, were dropped on the school. The facility was being used as a shelter for displaced Palestinians.
