Hundreds of Palestinians gathered in the occupied West Bank cities of Nablus and Ramallah to protest an Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza that targeted displaced Palestinians seeking refuge, Anadolu Agency reports.

The demonstrations were organized by the Coordination Committee of Factions and local institutions in both governorates.

Protesters condemned ongoing Israeli attacks and the recent “massacre” at the Al-Taba’een School, where at least 100 Palestinians were killed while performing fajr (dawn) prayers.

Demonstrators in Nablus assembled in Martyrs’ Square, with prominent figures from political factions joining the protest.

Nasri Abu Jish, coordinator of the National Islamic Forces in Nablus, said the demonstrations are to deliver two key messages: Support for the people and resistance in Gaza and a demand for the international community to address the ongoing conflict.
