Israel bombs school whilst displaced Palestinians pray, killing at least 100

At least 100 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were killed at dawn on Saturday after Israeli forces targeted a school in Gaza City whilst displaced people performed morning prayers.

Videos obtained by Middle East Eye showed charred bodies and limbs strewn across a concrete floor, as people scrambled to find their loved ones following the attacks.

Another video appeared to show dozens of bodies covered in cloths and laid out in a courtyard.

Gaza's civil defence agency described the attacks as a "horrific massacre" and said three Israeli rockets struck the Tabin school, located in Gaza City's al-Daraj district, whilst Palestinians performed early morning Fajr prayers.

The civil defence said the strikes targeted two floors of the school, with the first striking an area inhabited by displaced women, and the second hitting the ground floor area which was used as a prayer hall.
