At least 100 Palestinian civilians, including children, were killed at dawn on Saturday after Israeli forces targeted a school in Gaza City whilst displaced people performed morning prayers.

Videos obtained by Middle East Eye showed charred bodies and limbs strewn across a concrete floor, as people scrambled to find their loved ones following the attacks.

Gaza's civil defence agency described the attack as a "horrific massacre," and said three Israeli rockets hit the Tabin school, located in Gaza City's al-Daraj district, whilst Palestinians performed early morning Fajr prayers.

Would you look at that, Israel said that Hammas was using it as a base of operations.

[s] It's almost like Israel has labeled every Palestinian living in Gaza whose over five years old as a member of Hammas. Hammas must be doing something right to recruit all of them at such a young age. [/s]

over five years old

You're being too generous to Israel. They're quite happy killing babies on the grounds that they will otherwise grow up into Palestinian adults.

I used to think the IDF was lying but I realize now that they classify every Palestinian as Hamas.

Hammas must have like 1000 bases of operation all in schools, mosques, and hospitals.

A base of operation must be one guy talking with a civilian.
