Israel Shells Abu Hussein School in Jabalia, Wounding Five Displaced Palestinians

Israeli artillery struck Abu Hussein School in the Jabalia refugee camp early Friday, wounding five displaced Palestinians and reducing parts of the school to rubble in northern Gaza, where the facility had been serving as one of the few remaining operational shelters.

An Anadolu source at the Interior Ministry’s medical services said ambulance crews transported the injured after the dawn strike, while the Anadolu report also said Israeli drones opened heavy fire and dropped explosive bombs around the Sanafour junction in the Tuffah neighborhood northeast of Gaza City.

The same reporting described Israeli airstrikes destroying two homes belonging to the al-Aidi and al-Khamisi families in the Maghazi refugee camp after evacuation warnings were issued, with witnesses saying the shelling completely destroyed the two houses and caused extensive damage to dozens of nearby houses.

In Khan Younis, the Israeli army carried out two demolitions of homes and civilian structures in the city’s eastern areas, with explosions heard across wide areas of the enclave, as the ceasefire agreement announced on October 10 continued to be violated.

The scale of the war’s toll was framed through Gaza’s Health Ministry figures, with Anadolu and Yeni Şafak both citing that violations have killed at least 981 Palestinians, while Yeni Şafak also said the fourteen-month war has left hundreds of thousands living in tents and temporary shelters as winter approaches.

While Anadolu and Yeni Şafak described the Jabalia school shelling as part of continued ceasefire violations, the accounts also placed the incident within a wider pattern of drones, explosive devices, and demolitions across Gaza City, Maghazi, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis.

In Gaza City, witnesses told Anadolu that Israeli drones opened heavy fire and dropped explosive bombs around the Sanafour junction in the Tuffah neighborhood, while Al-Jazeera Net said journalists’ cameras captured “harsh scenes and terrifying moments” experienced by residents of Maghazi and Deir al-Balah camps.

Al-Jazeera Net also quoted journalist Mohammed Hania saying, “this hell raining down on Gaza receives no attention compared with what is happening in the world,” and described Bisan Al-Sharafi saying “time stopping in this geographic patch for more than two and a half years.”

The same Al-Jazeera Net report said the shelling and demolitions coincided with the opening ceremony of the 2026 World Cup edition, and it described reactions that compared the world’s focus on the tournament with Gaza’s ongoing destruction.

It further cited Ismail Al-Thawabta, head of the Government Information Office, announcing that more than 3,000 breaches of the agreement’s terms have been recorded, with these violations resulting in 985 martyrs and injuries of more than 3,000.

Across the reporting, the Jabalia school strike and other attacks were tied to a broader humanitarian picture, with Yeni Şafak saying widespread destruction has damaged 90% of the enclave’s civilian infrastructure and that hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live in tents and temporary shelters.

Yeni Şafak and Anadolu both anchored the war’s cumulative casualties to Gaza’s Health Ministry, with Yeni Şafak saying approximately 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 173,000 wounded since Israel launched its military offensive on October 8, 2023.

The same Yeni Şafak account said repeated displacement has left families in camps that lack basic necessities and essential services as winter approaches, while Anadolu similarly described Palestinians living in tents and temporary shelters after Israel’s war destroyed homes or left them severely damaged.

Le Matin, focusing on later bombardments, reported that at least 52 people were killed Monday by Israeli bombardments in Gaza, including 33 in a school housing displaced people at Fahmi AlJarjaoui School in Gaza City, and it said the Israeli army stated it had targeted “top-level terrorists” in a command and control center.

Le HuffPost added that Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal told AFP that the strike wounded dozens, mainly children, and it quoted the Israeli army’s statement that it had targeted “top-tier terrorists” in a Hamas and Islamic Jihad command and control center installed in an area that had previously served as a school.
