Dublin: Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris on Saturday accused Israel of "unconscionable violence" after the health ministry in Gaza said an Israeli strike on a school had killed 30 people.
"This latest attack on a school by the Israeli military is a further demonstration of brutal, unconscionable violence," Harris said in a statement.
"Targeting an area populated with displaced families is inhumane and despicable," he added.
Israel said Saturday it targeted "terrorists" in the strike -- at least the eighth time since July 6 that a school has been hit by its forces.
Harris said it "continues to use disproportionate force and is engaging in a war that is having an unacceptable level of civilian death and injury, especially to children".
