The Israeli strike on Wednesday killed 14 people in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital morgue, according to Lazzarini

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the U.N. agency that aids Palestinian refugees, said the school compound is sheltering 6,000 displaced people at the moment.

“Claims that armed groups may have been inside the shelter are shocking. He said in a statement that they are unable to verify the claims.

In the aftermath of the strike, rubble covered the school courtyard and blood covered the school staircase. Two boys with head and leg injuries remained in the school compound. The children were trying to gather wood from the rubble to use as firewood while the U.N. officials tried to repair the windows of the compound.

At the Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital morgue, a mother grieved over her dead son’s body. More than 140 people have been killed since Wednesday in central Gaza, as Israel launched a new offensive, according to the hospital director.

Hospitals in Gaza have had to cope with a lot of dead and wounded in the past, and sometimes experience sporadic disruptions in internet and phone service. A New York Times reporter who visited Al Aqsa hospital on Thursday after the Nuseirat strike saw medics pushing through crowds of people to reach operating rooms.

The Israeli Military is not using the best bombs the US has to offer, but a UNRWA official said he had no information about the attack on the complex in Shati

The official said that Israel is using the best bombs the US has to offer.

The military claimed to have bombarded Hamas operatives on the grounds of a United Nations school in Shati, just northwest of Gaza City, despite the concern over the attack on the complex in Nuseirat. UNRWA, the agency which operated the school until October, was unable to give any additional information as to the number of casualties.

Families displaced in the war are sheltering in the school. NPR found a body bag that was labeled as containing the body parts of five children.

The US military would likely have called off the strike because of the high number of civilian casualties.

“What strikes me most about these most recent strikes by the IDF Bryant, a retired master sergeant and former special ops joint, said the Israeli military does not employ them in a way that they are employed in a way that gives them the qualities that they are intended to be.

The Israeli military refused to give information on the kind of bombs used in the strike, but they did provide the names of nine men who they said were killed.

The UN school in Nuseirat is caring for people who were forced to flee their homes in north Gaza at the start of the war, and also those who fled the fighting in south Gaza.

As soon as word of a major strike reached the facility on Thursday, a designated official prepared to receive ambulances arriving from the Nuseirat area and began registering the dead and wounded, he said. “We look for any marker that would help us identify the person,” said Mr. Khattab, adding that officials often had to collect multiple body parts from an individual, placing them into a single bag.

The Israeli Military tries to make a difference: “The Palestinians are not the Palestinians,” the Israeli military spokesman warned on the Thursday strike on Rafah

The Israeli military has been attacking the southern Gaza city of Rafah on the Egyptian border since the beginning of the year. The military said it was conducting intelligence-based, targeted operations.

The military has offered a full-throated defense of the Thursday strike, saying that its forces had targeted 20 to 30 militants using three classrooms as a base. But international criticism has focused on the civilian toll.

Hamas and other Palestinians in Gaza have built extensive tunnels to fight a guerrilla war instead of directly confronting the Israelis. Israeli troops are back in Bureij, in an effort to crack down on what the military says is a renewed Hamas insurgency there.

Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, told reporters on Thursday that the militant group was still capable above and beneath the ground.

The Israeli military said that Hamas came out of a tunnel near the Egyptian border in an attempt to launch an attack on Israel. Israeli drone and tank fire aimed at the militants killed three, according to the military, and an Israeli soldier was also killed in the firefight.

Amid conflicting information over the death toll and the identities of the victims, Mr. Khattab, the Al Aqsa hospital morgue official, said the hospital had a system designed to document mass casualty events as accurately as possible, despite the severe challenges of the war.
