Israeli Bombardment Turns Gaza Schools, Tents, Homes Into Mass Graves

Israeli warplanes struck a school in Gaza City at 3 a.m., killing at least six Palestinians and wounding dozens more.

The building had been sheltering families who had already been displaced multiple times by earlier attacks.

Women and children were among the victims.

Witnesses described a night of horror as those inside scrambled amid fire, dust and screams.

A tent near the legislative council in central Gaza was also bombed, killing two Palestinian children.

The area had become a makeshift camp for families who had lost everything.

Israeli missiles turned it into rubble.

In another strike, Israeli forces destroyed al-Sousi Tower, part of an ongoing campaign to level Gaza’s high-rises.

Families who once clung to survival with almost nothing now return to twisted metal and dust.

Residents say each tower’s collapse is not only a physical loss, but the annihilation of memories, livelihoods and community ties.

Forced evacuation orders have deepened fear in Gaza City.

Leaflets warn residents to flee south, yet those who obey often face bombardment there as well.

This tactic, Palestinians say, leaves them trapped with nowhere safe to go.

One woman displaced from Beit Lahiya said she lost even the tent she had been living in after another Israeli strike:

“Now we no longer have a tent, and I have no money at all to get another one,” she told Al Jazeera.

Mustafa al-Jamal, another resident, said the Israeli orders to relocate to al-Mawasi were meaningless.

“When people go there the bombing begins,” he said.

“Where can we go? We have no money, no tents, no house, no food – I have 15 family members, where am I supposed to take them?”

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has so far killed at least 64,368 people and wounded 162,367 since October 2023.

For Palestinians, each strike means another round of uprooting, another grave, and fewer places left to survive.
