Gaza (QNN)- Five displaced civilians, including children, were killed in an Israeli strike on a school sheltering displaced people in the Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, on Friday. The school lies within the yellow line and is not under Israeli military control.
The attack occurred during a wedding celebration for two displaced residents. The joyous event quickly turned into a scene of bloodshed. Pictures and video footage show that bodies were severely mutilated in the Israeli brutal attack.
The Israeli military shelled the school and prevented medics from reaching the site. Civil defense teams, after coordinating with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), recovered five of the dead and injured from inside the school. Survivors were rushed to available hospitals for treatment.

The Civil Defense condemned the brutal attack, stating that it violates international humanitarian law. They called on the international community and UN agencies to act immediately to protect civilians and safeguard shelters and humanitarian teams.
The strike comes as part of ongoing Israeli assaults across the Gaza Strip. On Thursday, Israeli forces targeted a woman inspecting her home in eastern Khan Younis. Four young men who tried to help her were killed, and their bodies remain on the streets.
According to sources in Gaza hospitals, since the ceasefire took effect in October, Israeli violations of Trump’s ceasefire have killed over 400 Palestinians.
