00:00The Israeli army has increased its bombardments against the Gaza Strip during the last days.
00:05Their targets continue to be civilian structures, mainly schools, serving as shoulders to thousands
00:10of displaced Palestinians.
00:12Our correspondent Huda Hegassi with the update.
00:16In these last days, the Israeli army has increased its bombardments here in the Gaza Strip.
00:26Mainly, its objective has been to bomb schools in the coastal enclave.
00:31In these last two days, more than three schools have been bombed here.
00:36First of all, I must highlight the attack on the school of Asseytoun, in the northern
00:41part of the Gaza Strip, specifically east of the city of Gaza, causing the death of
00:47more than 23 Gazans, several of them children, women and elderly people.
00:53On the same day, after bombing that school, the Israeli army bombed a warehouse used to
00:59store medicines and medical supplies also in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, causing
01:06the death of five workers of the Palestinian Ministry of Health, who were in that warehouse
01:12collecting medicines to distribute them to the different health centers in the northern
01:18part of the Strip.
01:20However, that day the massacres didn't stop.
01:23Late in the evening, the Israeli army bombed a supermarket in the southern part of the
01:29Gaza Strip, specifically in the Rafah Governorate, killing at least four Gazans.
01:35The second school that was bombed by the Israeli army was on Saturday in the northern part
01:41of the Gaza Strip, specifically in the al-Sateqab, killing seven more Gazans.
01:48Immediately after this attack, the army carried out a massacre in the south of the Gaza Strip,
01:54in the Rafah area, against the Dujar family, causing the death of ten members of that family.
02:01The last attack on a school was that same night or early next morning, when the Israeli
02:08army bombed a school in the al-Musarrat refugee camp, causing the death of at least three
02:15Gazans who were inside that school.
02:18Immediately minutes after bombing that school that served as a shelter for thousands of
02:25Gazanese refugees, the Israeli army bombed a civilian house that was just behind the
02:31Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, in the Bir al-Bala Governorate, causing the death of a mother
02:38and her three children.
02:40We are seeing how, in these last two days, the bombings have been increasing and have
02:46been even focused on schools, around hospitals and civilian constructions and therefore these
02:53attacks are being condemned.
02:56According to a communique issued by the UN, the Israeli army since the beginning of this
03:02war has bombed approximately 183 schools in the entire coastal enclave, causing the
03:10death of approximately 1,100 Gazans inside those schools where they believed to be in
03:18a safe place.
03:20These attacks on schools have been condemned and also there have been calls for a revenge
03:26against the Israeli army for bombing innocent civilians here in the Gaza Strip.
