Attacks on civilian infrastructure rising during Israel’s ‘intensified’ offensive on battered enclave.
Israeli attacks have killed more than 50 people in the Gaza Strip since dawn on Monday, including 36 in a school-turned-shelter that was struck as people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, according to local health officials.

The attack on the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School in the Daraj neighbourhood of Gaza City also wounded dozens of people, said Fahmy Awad, head of the Gaza Ministry of Health’s emergency service. He said a father and his five children were among the dead.
International humanitarian law forbids attacks on civilian infrastructure, including schools, but throughout its 19-month war in Gaza, Israel has repeatedly bombed schools, most of which are now being used as shelters for displaced people.

At least 50 people were killed by bombs and artillery attacks in November 2023 at al-Buraq School in Gaza City. At the nearby al-Tabin School, more than 100 people were killed as they gathered for morning prayers in August

Elsewhere on Monday, an attack on a home in Jabalia in northern Gaza killed 16 members of the same family, including five women and two children, according to al-Shifa Hospital, which received the bodies.
