Israel’s military has bombed another United Nations-run school as well as an Israeli-designed “safe-zone” in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 42 Palestinians and wounding dozens of others, according to Palestinian officials.

The Israeli attacks on Tuesday hit the UN’s al-Razi school in the central Nuseirat refugee camp and a main street lined with market stalls in the southern al-Mawasi area, where thousands of displaced Palestinians had sought shelter.

    So, what you’re saying is that the IDF is so incompetent that they keep hitting designated safe zones by mistake? That’s what you’re going with?

      Look, I’m not saying they hit that school (or the previous 5) by mistake, but how can they know that a building called school, managed by the UN, full of children seated in classrooms with teachers teaching stuff to said children, in a zone designated by Israel as a safe zone is actually a school?

      They couldn’t know! Nobody could!

        None of those schools are active. They’re currently shelters for families.

          Well that makes it alright then! Nobody could possibly object to families sheltering in a so-called safe zone being killed by the very people who designated it as such and told them to go there!

          That’s just totally normal existential self defense behavior! 🤦

              Not to dogpile on you but, if that is actually your stance, I’d go and amend your top statement. Too many bad actors divert the topic by ‘quibbling’ about minor inaccuracies in a statement.

              And I would say “a school” vs a “a school building currently hosting refugee families” is a very minor component of the larger story that “a nation has been bombing those civilian buildings full of non-combatants in established safe zones”.
