Classroom massacre: Survivors say Israel executed innocents in Gaza school
Al Jazeera
At least seven bodies of displaced Palestinians ‘shot point-blank’ were recovered at the Shadia Abu Ghazala School.
Jabalia, Gaza Strip – Bodies were piled up instead of books in the classroom. Bullet holes pockmarked some walls. Others were charred, apparently by fire.
Displaced families were sheltering in the United Nations-run Shadia Abu Ghazala School west of the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza when Israeli soldiers entered the building. What followed was a massacre, according to witnesses and families of those who were killed in the early December assault.
Videos and images obtained by Al Jazeera showed bodies discovered on December 13 piled up inside the school. Since then, survivors of the attack, and family members of the victims who have returned to the school to look for their loved ones, have come forward to recount the horror of those moments.
Witnesses said several people, including women, children and babies, were killed execution-style by Israeli forces while they were sheltering inside the school.
