Europe Borrell condemns Israel's attack on school in Gaza
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell has expressed his horror at Israel's attack on a school building in Gaza, in which dozens of people were killed, according to Palestinian reports. "At least ten schools have been targeted in recent weeks. There is no justification for these massacres," Borrell wrote on Platform X. "We are dismayed by the horrific total number of casualties." The building that was attacked served as accommodation for displaced people and, according to Israel, also as a command center and hideout for Hamas.

More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began in October, Borrell wrote. A ceasefire is the only way to end the killing of civilians and secure the release of hostages, he warned. According to Palestinian reports, around 100 people were killed in the latest Israeli attack, although the exact number varies.
The Gaza war was triggered by the unprecedented massacre with more than 1,200 dead carried out by terrorists from Hamas and other groups in Israel last October. According to the Hamas-controlled health authority, more than 39,600 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war. The figure does not distinguish between civilians and fighters and cannot be independently verified.
