Israeli Shelling Kills at Least 70 at Ramses School in Rafah
Key Takeaways
- Israeli airstrikes across Gaza caused casualties and destruction.
- Two Palestinians injured by Israeli naval fire targeting displaced tents in Mawasi, Khan Younis.
- Rafah remains a focal hotspot with intensified strikes threatening civilians.
Rafah School Bombed
Israeli forces bombed the Ramses School in Rafah as more than a million displaced Palestinians sought shelter.
“Gaza / Anadolu Agency The Israeli army, on Tuesday, carried out two airstrikes on a house and a tent in two areas of the Gaza Strip after warning them to evacuate, as part of its daily violations of the ceasefire that has been in effect since October 10 of last month”
Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed at least 70 people killed, including children.
The UN and international human rights groups condemned the strike as a potential war crime.
Some Western outlets offered limited coverage, focusing on Israel's stated military objectives.
Continued Bombing and Ground Advance
The Israeli military pushed into Rafah for the first time since the ceasefire.
The Health Ministry reported Israeli violations have killed at least 713 Palestinians since October 11.
The 45-day period of relative calm had ended with an escalation that left Gaza more vulnerable.
Israel Denies Targeting Civilian Sites
Israel issued a 90-minute evacuation warning for a zone in central Rafah.
“That occurred amid daily Israeli violations of the ceasefire that has been in effect since October 10 of last year”
The military asserted it was operating to avoid civilian casualties.
This contradiction highlighted the credibility gap between Israeli statements and on-the-ground realities.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
Gaza's 2.4 million residents remain confined in a small area.
Over 1.9 million displaced people live in tents or five open-air shelters.

Israel has failed to meet commitments to bring in adequate humanitarian aid.
