While attention has turned to Iran, Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues. Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defense, said at least 30 people were killed and 16 were missing in Aug. 4 afternoon strikes against the Hassan Salama and Nasser schools in Gaza City, where thousands of displaced people were sheltering, according to many reports.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that the strikes targeted Hamas militants who were using the schools as “command and control centers.” The IDF elaborated their standard lie, “Numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, surveillance, and additional intelligence.” On Telegram, Hamas accused Israel of “violating all international laws and norms.”
An earlier Israeli strike hit a camp for displaced people in Deir al-Balah, around al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, leaving 4 people dead and 15 others injured, according to Khalil Daqran, a spokesman for al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
