Dozens of people were killed on Thursday in the Israeli strike on a school shell in the City of Gaza, according to local health authorities.

The deadly strike took place as Israel increased his offensive in the gauze belt to press Hamas to let more hostages held in his captivity.

The Israeli army said she was involved in the incident reports and could not comment immediately.

The bodies of 27 people killed on strike arrived at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in the City of Gaza, the Ministry of Health said. The Ministry does not distinguish civilians and fighters in its victims’ numbers.

More videos confirmed by the New York Times show the explosion and their chaotic consequences at the Dar Al-Arqam school in Tuffah’s fourth in the city of Gaza, where civilians took refuge. Videos can see people wear victims, including children, in ambulances while fires up in the background.

The video recorded by Anas al-Sharif, a journalist for Al Jazeera, shows more than a dozen wounded children at Ahli Arab Hospital, including some dust covered.

Israel accused Hamas of incorporating his forces in civilian spaces, including schools and hospitals.

Mohammed al-Najjar, 32, took refuge at school when he flew into the building series of air attacks, he said.

“We were surprised when the school was bombed,” he said in the voice message, adding that the second round of air attacks was later performed.

On Wednesday, Avichay Adraee, a spokesman for the Arabic language of the Israeli army, called on the residents of the Tuffah neighborhood to evacuate the area.

Although many people have applied for such commands to evacuate the army during the latest Israeli campaign, others have decided to stay in their homes or shelters, saying that they cannot be displaced – many of them have been rooted several times during the war – or that they do not have anywhere else.

The two -month interruption between Israel and Hamas crashed in mid -March after two sides failed to reach an agreement to extend it. The Israeli army has since started a large campaign of bombing throughout Gaza, which Israeli officials have said that it is intended to force Hamas to release more hostages.

More than 1,000 people in Gaza were killed from the collapse of the ceasefire on March 18, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
