Gaza live: Fresh Israeli order forces over 170,000 Palestinians to leave their homes

Doctors at Gaza's Baptist Hospital dealing with casualties from the Israeli bombing on Tabin school are giving testimonials on the state of bodies they are receiving in the hospital.

In a post on X, Dr. Fadel Naim, a surgeon in the hospital, said "we received dozens of bodies, victims of the Israeli massacre; others with amputations and severe burns and piles of shattered flesh and bones from those who could not be identified".

In another post, he recalls the moments of performing a surgery to a 16-year-old boy, with "crushed legs, a severed left hand, and severe injuries to his body".

Dr. Naim says he was horrified to find "the shattered head of another person" amongst the bones of the boy's legs during the surgery.  He was able to recognize the other person's head by the mouth and chin.

"It was a scene beyond what the heart can endure. Despite our best efforts, the severe bleeding took his life during the operation. We handed his body to his family !!!! There are dozens more with similar injuries, and with each passing moment, we lose another soul," he says.

The Israeli army has said that four rockets have exploded outside the Kibbutz Kissufim in an area known in Israel as the Gaza envelope; sparking fire. 

The Israeli attack on the Tabin school in Gaza, which killed more than 100 Palestinians praying at dawn on Saturday, has left not a single full body, Gaza's civil defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Al Jazeera.

He said rescue teams were not able to find a single body with full limbs at the site, and that the status of the uncovered bodies indicates the severity of the bombing.

The Israeli news outlet Haaretz is reporting that protests are planned to take place this evening against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and to call for the release of the hostages.  The demonstrations will also call for early Knesset elections. 

Families of the hostages plan also to make a statement in front of the Israeli defence ministry building in Tel Aviv, according to Haaretz.

Protests are planned to be held outside Netanyahu's family home in Caesarea, and in various cities including Haifa, Beersheba and occupied Jerusalem.

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has condemned the Israeli strike on a Gaza school which killed at least 100 people. 

"Appalled by the Israeli Military strike on al-Tabeen school and the tragic loss of life," Lammy said on X. 

"Hamas must stop endangering civilians. Israel must comply with International Humanitarian Law. We need an immediate ceasefire to protect civilians, free all hostages, and end restrictions on aid."

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa), has condemned the Israeli bombing of a school in Gaza, which resulted in over 100 Palestinian deaths. 

"Another day of horror in Gaza. Another school hit with reports of dozens of Palestinian killed among them women, children and older people," he wrote on X.

Lazzarini said schools, UN facilities and civilian infrastructure should never be targeted. 

"It's time for these horrors unfolding under our watch to end. We cannot let the unbearable become a new norm," he said.

"The more recurrent, the more we lose our collective humanity."

Israeli forces have shot and wounded three Palestinians in the southern Hebron region of the occupied West Bank, according to Wafa news agency.

Citing local sources, Wafa reported that the Palestinians sustained injuries to their lower limbs from Israeli army gunfire near the village of Beit Marsam, near the town of Dura. 

The wounded were transported by Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) medical teams to a hospital in nearby Hebron City.

Israel's war on Gaza has killed at least 39,790 Palestinians, the health ministry in the enclave said on Saturday. 

At least 92,002 others have been wounded since 7 October, the ministry added.

Moatasem Dalloul, an activist at the scene of the school massacre in Gaza City, said the nearby Al-Maamadani Hospital is only partially functioning and does not have enough space for the wounded.

In a video Dalloul shared with MEE, a young boy suffering from burns and wounds across his body is seen bandaged and lying on a stretcher in one of the hospital’s corridors.

“The bodies of the people who were killed are placed everywhere in the yards of the hospital and their loved ones are bidding them farewell,” Dalloul said.

“Israel keeps targetting shelters, but people continue to shelter in these places because their homes have been destroyed in repeated Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip.”

A man at the scene of the massacre, who did not give his name, said: “When we entered the school, we saw body parts all over the prayer hall.”

Mohammed Al-Mughair, director of the supply department of Gaza's civil defence authority, has been speaking following Israel's strike on a school in Gaza City. 

He said the Tabin school was housing around 2,400 displaced Palestinians. 

"The school was targetted by three missiles, including at least one MK-84 missile, which weighs 2,000 pounds," Mughair said.

Moatasem Dalloul, activist and resident of Gaza City, spoke to Middle East Eye from the scene of the Israeli school massacre which killed scores of Palestinians.

"The Israeli military has committed a horrible massacre in its attack on the school sheltering displaced Palestinians. The Israeli occupation forces continue to commit massacres against displaced people in shelters because no one in the world is able to stop it," Dalloul said. 

"At the same time, the continued American and western support, financially and militarily, and the silence of the international community encourages Israel to continue committing such crimes against the innocents in the Gaza Strip."

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.
