Israeli forces targeted a school in Khan Younis that was sheltering hundreds of displaced Palestinians, critically injuring at least eight people, according to Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud.

“We heard from paramedics and first responders that it was difficult to transfer those injured inside the school to Nasser Hospital … despite the fact it was a very short distance,” said Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah.

“The intensity of the bombing prevented the ambulance and paramedics from getting to the school … this is what we have been seeing since the early hours of this morning.”
