ISTANBUL (AA) – As the Israeli onslaught on Gaza enters its 46th day, the Israeli army bombed a school sheltering displaced people in northern Gaza on Tuesday.

According to the official Palestine TV, an Israeli airstrike targeted a school in the al-Faluja area in the Jabalia refugee camp leaving several casualties among the displaced Palestinians, most of them children and women.

In overnight raids, the Israeli army bombed nine homes in Beit Lahia town in the north of the Gaza Strip, causing casualties.

The health authorities are yet to announce the number of casualties from the Israeli airstrikes.

Meanwhile, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that telecom services were completely cut off in Gaza City, and areas in the northern Gaza Strip, following the Israeli bombing of the telecom towers.

Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip -- including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship -- since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7.

At least 13,300 Palestinians have been killed, including 5,600 children and 3,550 women.

Thousands of buildings, including hospitals, mosques, and churches, have also been damaged or destroyed in Israel’s relentless air and ground attacks on the besieged enclave.

The Israeli death toll is nearly 1,200, according to official figures.
