Gaza: Forces killed some 40 Palestinians at a school in Jabaliya Refugee Camp in the northern Gaza Strip late on Tuesday afternoon, medical officials confirmed.
Ma’an’s reporter said that dozens more are feared injured in the attack on the Al-Fakhoura School.
The school is operated by UNRWA, the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees. UNRWA has been using its schools to house some of the 15,000 Gazans who have fled their homes due to Israel's ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, which began on Saturday.
Jabaliya Refugee Camp has been the site of some of the most intense fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters.
Earlier on Tuesday, the United Nations confirmed that three refugees had been killed when Israeli forces fired directly on a UNRWA school in Gaza City.
