Israeli airstrikes hit a U.N. school being used as a shelter in Nuseirat and the “safer” zone of Al-Mawas yesterday. In the case of the Nuseirat attack, the Israeli military claimed it was targeting militants operating inside the U.N. school. This airstrike marks the sixth former U.N. school facility to be hit in 10 days. Hamas has condemned the Israeli attacks. In response, Israel states that Hamas violates international law by using civilians as human shields.
