The U.N. agency that assists refugees in Gaza, says an emergency room is out of business in the aftermath of the July 14 strike at Al-Aqsa Hospital

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the U.N. agency that aids Palestinian refugees, said the school compound is sheltering 6,000 displaced people at the moment.

“Claims that armed groups may have been inside the shelter are shocking. He stated in a statement that they are not able to verify the claims.

In the aftermath of the strike, rubble covered the school courtyard and blood covered the school staircase. Two boys were injured in the school compound. The children were using the rubble to make firewood, and the U.N. officials were attempting to repair the windows of the compound for the families that were still in there.

The emergency room inside Al-Aqsa Hospital is worse than yesterday. They have no chance to reorganize from … yesterday’s events, and now they are struck with mass casualties after mass casualties,” said Karin Huster, a medical adviser for humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders, who is at the hospital. “Patients are on the floor. The facility is overwhelmed and dead bodies are not being taken to the morgue.

“Israel is using the most advanced, precise and effective bombs the U.S. produces like a cudgel,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss Israel’s conduct.

The army said that the groups it was targeting were involved in the attack on southern Israel which resulted in the deaths of over a hundred people. The army’s spokesman said there was no civilian casualty in the air strike and that it was called off twice.

Wes Bryant, the former Air Force official, said the U.S. military would have most likely called off such a strike where militants were holed up in a U.N. school housing displaced civilians because the estimated number of civilian casualties would be high.

The most recent strikes by the IDF struck me most. [Israeli military], in which large numbers of civilians have again been killed, is that they are using munitions intended to be both precision and low collateral damage — but they are not employing them in a manner in which those qualities are applied,” said Bryant, a retired master sergeant and former special operations joint terminal attack controller in the elite special warfare branch of the U.S. Air Force.

The Israeli military said on Thursday that it was unaware of any civilian deaths in the strike and later named the men it said had been killed. On Friday, the military released the names of an additional eight men it said were among the dead, identifying them as militants as well.

The U.N. school in Nuseirat is sheltering families that had been displaced multiple times: those who fled north Gaza to Rafah in south Gaza at the start of the war, and who then fled Israel’s offensive on Rafah to the U.N. school.

As soon as word of a major strike reached the facility on Thursday, a designated official prepared to receive ambulances arriving from the Nuseirat area and began registering the dead and wounded, he said. Mr. Khattab said they looked for markers that would help them identify the person.

Israeli troops also continued their offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where the Israeli military has seized much of the border area between the city and Egypt. The military said it was carrying out intelligence-based targeted operations.

The military has said it hit 20 to 30 militant groups using three classrooms as a base. But international criticism has focused on the civilian toll.

On Friday, the Israeli military said its forces were continuing to operate in other areas of central Gaza, including Bureij and Deir al Balah, and had killed dozens of militants and destroyed tunnel shafts built by Palestinian armed groups.

Peter Lerner, a military spokesman for the Israeli army, said Thursday that there were ongoing attacks by smaller cells of militant Hamas and that they still had capabilities above and beneath ground.

The Israeli military said Friday that Hamas attempted to launch an attack inside the country when they emerged from a tunnel near the Egyptian border. An Israeli soldier was killed and three other people were killed in a clash with the militant group, according to the military.

Amid conflicting information over the death toll and the identities of the victims, Mr. Khattab, the Al Aqsa hospital morgue official, said the hospital had a system designed to document mass casualty events as accurately as possible, despite the severe challenges of the war.
