The air strike on Aug 10 drew criticism from across the Middle East and beyond.
GAZA CITY – Rescuers in Gaza said an Israeli air strike on a school housing displaced Palestinians killed 93 people on Aug 10, sparking international condemnation despite Israel’s insistence that it was targeting militants.
“They dropped a missile on them while they were just praying,” said one woman, mourning over a dead child shrouded in a plastic body bag. Iran, which backs both militant groups and had accused Israel of wanting to spread war in the Middle East following high-profile killings in Tehran and Beirut, condemned what it called a “barbaric attack”.
Jordan’s foreign ministry said the timing was an indication of Israel’s efforts to “obstruct and thwart” the latest mediation effort. “For several weeks, school buildings have been repeatedly targeted, with an intolerable number of civilian victims,” the French foreign ministry said.Mr Netanyahu’s office on Aug 8 said Israel would send negotiators “to conclude the details of implementing a deal”, after the joint invitation from the United States, Egypt and Qatar. Hamas has yet to formally respond.
