The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip announced on Tuesday that 22 people were killed in separate areas, half of them died in an air strike on a school housing thousands of displaced people in the Zeitoun neighborhood, while the Israeli army said it targeted a “command center.”

On the other hand, the Civil Defense announced the suspension of all ambulances and fire trucks in the Gaza Strip due to the exhaustion of fuel controlled by Israel to enter the Strip.

Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said: “At least 11 citizens were killed and more than 40 were wounded as a result of Israeli aircraft bombing the Freedom School, which shelters thousands of displaced people in the Zeitoun neighborhood” in southeast of Gaza City.

According to Basal, volunteers, including citizens, transported “the dead and injured to the city’s Alahli Alarabi  Hospital.”

In recent months, Israeli forces have targeted many schools in the Gaza Strip, after they turned into displacement centers, claiming that they target Hamas fighters, which the group denies.
