Al Jazeera Arabic, citing Palestinian sources, reports that the list of 19 fighters that Israel claims were targeted in the attack on al-Tabin School carries misinformation.

Two of the men were killed days before the attack in other areas of the Gaza Strip, the sources said.

They are Montaser Dahir, who was killed along with his sister in his apartment a day before the school attack and Youssef al-Wadiya, who was killed two days before in a different location, they said.

Another man on the list — Mohammed al-Taif — was an academic and a former school principal and was not involved in any military activity, they added.

The Palestinian Quds News Network also reported that the list was “full of misinformation” and said “more than half of those listed were not involved in any political or military activities”.
