Israeli forces attacked a school in Gaza’s Deir al-Balah city. At least 30 Palestinians were killed in the attack. Palestinian health officials confirmed this information. Meanwhile, the Israeli military claimed that it had struck a Hamas command center.

The Gaza Health Ministry and the Hamas-controlled government media office confirmed the number of casualties in the Deir al-Balah school attack. Many displaced families have taken shelter in that area. Hundreds more were also injured in the attack. The Israeli military claimed in a statement that a Hamas command and control center inside the Khadija school compound was attacked. The statement said that the school was used to attack Israeli forces. However, Israeli forces are also claimed to have warned civilians before launching attacks there.

On October 7, the Palestinian independence organization Hamas entered the border of Israel and launched a sudden attack. At that time 1 thousand 139 people were kidnapped and taken as hostages. After that, Israel launched a counterattack in Gaza. Israeli soldiers have been rampaging in Gaza for about 9 months. At least 39,258 Palestinians have been killed so far, according to Gaza’s Hamas-controlled health ministry. Besides, another 90 thousand 589 people were injured

Meanwhile, children are being deliberately shot in Gaza, a group of 45 American doctors and nurses who have experience working there said. They wrote an open letter to US President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Recently this letter was published on social media.

The letter to the medical workers described the horrific carnage of Israeli forces in the besieged valley. The US is considering continuing to support Israel in the Gaza war. At such a moment, such a letter came to the top people of the US government.

It is written in that letter that the number of dead in this conflict has already exceeded 92 thousand. This number is shocking because it is about 4.2 percent of the total population of Gaza. Each of the medical workers who signed the letter said the Palestinian children they treated were “deliberately” targeted.

Each of us treats children who have been shot in the head and chest every day, they wrote. Almost everyone in Gaza, with the exception of a small number, is sick, injured, or struggling with both.

At least 14 Palestinians were killed in early morning attacks near the southern city of Khan Younis, the Palestinian Authority Media Office said early Saturday. Their bodies have been taken to Naser Medical Complex.
