The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor says its field team has documented Israeli air strikes at midnight targeting the Halimah al-Saadiyah School in Jabalia Al-Nazla, north of the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.

The building was sheltering hundreds of forcibly displaced people. The attack killed four Palestinians and injured others.

Israeli aircraft also bombed Amr Ibn al-Aas School, another shelter for displaced people north of Gaza City, killing four Palestinians, including a child.

According to the human rights group, since the beginning of August, Israel has bombed 16 schools used as shelters in the Gaza Strip, killing 217 Palestinians and injuring hundreds — many of them women and children.
