Also on Saturday, the health ministry said that four of its workers were killed and six injured in an Israeli “targeting” of a health ministry warehouse in the Musabah area of southern Gaza. The ministry did not specify whether the incident was an air strike.
The BBC has approached the IDF for comment on the report of health workers killed.
Other schools have been hit, some several times, by Israeli air strikes since the latest conflict with Hamas began on 7 October.
Earlier this month, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) said six of its employees were killed in an Israeli air strike on al-Jaouni school in Nuseirat refugee camp, which is being used as a shelter by thousands of displaced Palestinians.
Unrwa said it was the fifth time the school had been hit since 7 October.
Israel’s military said it carried out a “precise strike on terrorists” planning attacks from the school. The military alleged that nine of those killed were members of Hamas’ armed wing and that three of them were Unrwa staff.
Hamas gunmen attacked Israel on 7 October last year, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 others as hostages.
Israel responded with a military campaign in Gaza that has killed more than 41,000 people, according to the health ministry.
