#Israel #Defends #Strike on #Gaza #School #Compound Amid 3Global #Condemnation #News #BreakingNews

As global condemnation rises, Israel continues to defend its strike on a school compound in central Gaza, claiming the site was being used by Hamas militants as a command center. The school, previously known as Al-Jaouni School, was housing around 12,000 displaced civilians, mostly women and children, according to the U.N. The Israeli strike, which killed 18 people, including six U.N. employees, has drawn sharp criticism from international leaders. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has called for an immediate halt to the violence, labeling the strike a violation of international humanitarian law. Israel maintains that Hamas has been using schools, hospitals, and shelters as military bases, justifying the airstrikes under the rules of war. However, human rights groups continue to demand accountability and independent investigations into these claims. #MiddleEastCrisis #GazaUnderAttack #ProtectCivilians #CeasefireNow #HumanRights #StopTheViolence #UNResponse #IsraelGazaConflict #
