Israel strikes market and school in Gaza, killing at least 20 Palestinians

At least eight killed in Deir el-Balah market, hours after yet another school targeted by Israeli forces, killing at least 12 displaced Palestinians.

At least 20 more Palestinians have been killed in another deadly day in Gaza after Israeli forces targeted a busy market and a school sheltering the displaced people.

At least eight Palestinians were killed on Tuesday in an Israeli attack on a crowded market in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent on the scene, who said the number of the dead could rise.

“This area is close to the market, it’s a very busy street. It has a lot of traffic and that’s why there are a lot of casualties,” Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary said.

She said many children were injured in the attack that hit an area less than a kilometre (0.6 miles) away from the Al-Aqsa Hospital, where most of the injured were brought.
