“The Israeli government committed today a terrible massacre, killing children and women and civilians in a school that is a shelter for these people who lost their homes that were destroyed by Israel already. The claim of Israel that there were military people there is false, they lied like that so many times before, and it proves to be lies, but even if there was some military person there that does not justify killing women and children in this arbitrary manner.”

“The message that must be sent to the world, a numb world, a world that is not moving, is how long will the war continue? How long will Israel continue to practice a policy of crime, slaughter, and killing while the world watches?"

STORYLINE:
Dozens gathered in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Saturday to condemn the killing of Palestinians in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip.
Carrying Palestinian flags and shouting slogans against Israel and The United States, the demonstrators protested against the war in Gaza.
The Israeli military targeted a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City early Saturday, killing at least 80 people, Palestinian health authorities said, in one of the deadliest strikes in the 10-month-old war between Israel and Hamas.
The Israeli military acknowledged the strike, claiming it hit a Hamas command centre within the school. Hamas denied that.
"They lied like that so many times before" said Mustafa Barghouti, head of the Palestinian initiative Party, who was part of the protest in the occupied West Bank.
"But even if there was some military person there, that does not justify killing women and children in this arbitrary manner,” Barghouti added.
The strike on the Tabeen school in central Gaza City also wounded 47 people, the Health Ministry said.
The facility, like almost all of Gaza’s schools, has been used as a shelter for people who have been forced to flee their homes by the war.
Israel’s campaign in Gaza has killed more than 39,600 Palestinians and wounded more than 91,700 others, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
The war was triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, in which militants from Gaza stormed into southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people and abducting 250 others.
