BASHAR TALEB\/ AFP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n At least 16 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a school sheltering displaced Palestinian families in central Gaza on Saturday, the Palestinian health ministry said.\n <\/p>\n
It said the attack on the school in Al-Nuseirat also wounded more than 50.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military said it took precautions to minimise risk to civilians before it targeted gunmen who were using the area as a hideout to plan and carry out attacks against soldiers. Hamas denied its fighters were there.<\/p>\n
At the scene, Ayman al-Atouneh said he saw children among the dead. “We came here running to see the targeted area, we saw bodies of children, in pieces, this is a playground, there was a trampoline here, there were swing-sets, and vendors,” he said.<\/p>\n
Mahmoud Basal, spokesman of the Gaza Civil Emergency Service, said in a statement that the number of dead could rise because many of the wounded were in critical condition.<\/p>\n
The attack meant no place in the enclave was safe for families who leave their houses to seek shelters, he said.<\/p>\n
Al-Nuseirat, one of Gaza Strip’s eight historic refugee camps, was the site of stepped-up Israeli bombardment on Saturday. An air strike earlier on a house in the camp killed at least 10 people and wounded many others, according to medics.<\/p>\n
In its daily update of people killed in the nearly nine-month-old war, the Gaza health ministry said Israeli military strikes across the enclave killed at least 29 Palestinians in the past 24 hours and wounded 100 others.<\/p>\n
Among those killed in separate air strikes on Saturday were five local journalists, raising the toll of journalists killed since October 7 to 158, according to the Hamas-led Gaza government media office.<\/p>\n
Gaza health authorities say more than 38,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s offensive. The health ministry does not distinguish between combatants and non-combatants but officials say most the dead are civilians.<\/p>\n
Israel has lost 323 soldiers in Gaza and says at least a third of the Palestinian dead are fighters.<\/p>\n
