Israeli forces carried out an execution-style killing of many Palestinians, including women, children, and infants, who had sought refuge inside the Shadia Abu Ghazala School in northern Gaza, international media reported quoting witnesses.
As per the report, the incident occurred in the Al Falujjah area, west of Jabalia refugee camp.
Disturbing footage obtained by Al Jazeera reportedly shows bodies, including those of newborns, piled up inside the school.
“The Israeli forces came in and opened fire on them,” a woman at the scene can be heard saying. “They took all men, then entered classrooms and opened fire on a woman and all the children with her.”
The woman said there were newborn children among them. “The Israeli forces executed those innocent families at point blank,” she added.
