In a new atrocity adding to the Israeli Occupation's record against the Palestinian people, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) committed a massacre in a school in Gaza City, killing over 100 people and injuring dozens more.

This massacre is part of the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing that the Israeli Occupation is carrying out against Palestinians. The IOF directly targeted displaced individuals who were performing dawn prayers at the school on Al-Nafaq Street in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City. According to Gaza's government media office, the death toll quickly escalated due to the intensity of the attack.

The scale of the massacre has overwhelmed medical teams, civil defense units, and emergency responders, who have been unable to recover all the bodies of the victims.

The Gaza government office condemned this horrific massacre in the strongest terms, calling on the international community to denounce it and pressure the occupation to stop its acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing against civilians and displaced people in Gaza.

The office also held the Israeli Occupation and the U.S. administration fully responsible for this massacre, renewing calls for the international community and global organizations to take immediate action to halt the bloodshed in Gaza.

- 309 days of the aggression - 

Israeli Occupation's assault on the Gaza Strip has entered its 309th day, beginning with a dawn massacre that killed over 100 people after a school housing thousands of displaced individuals was bombed.

This attack coincided with reports from Hebrew media about new demands from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government regarding a prisoner exchange deal.

In related news, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a phone call with minister Yoav Gallant, stressing the need for a ceasefire in Gaza and the return of 'Israeli' captives.
