France has condemned Israel’s recent deadly air strikes on schools sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza, declaring such tactics “unacceptable”

“We call for these strikes to be fully investigated,” the foreign ministry said according to AFP, highlighting a strike at a school near the southern city of Khan Younis yesterday.

“It is unacceptable that schools, especially those housing civilians displaced by the fighting, should be targeted,” the ministry statement said.

“We call on Israel to do its utmost to protect civilians in the conduct of military operations and to fully respect international humanitarian law, in particular the principles of proportionality and distinction.”
