GAZA STRIP - From Tuesday night to dawn on Wednesday, Israel Air Force pilots were responsible for the ending of at least forty-nine lives as warplanes continued to pound the war-ravaged enclave.
The pilots targeted two schools housing mostly displaced children women, and elderly people. The schools are/were located in Al-Bureij refugee camp and in Gaza City.
Then on Wednesday afternoon the pilots notched up another 25 deaths as they targeted a restaurant and a popular market in Gaza City. The attacks were considered extremely cruel, given that the enclave is in a state of famine, and yet a restaurant and a market where people trying to get food were targeted,
Palestinian news agency WAFA reported two attacks on Al-Bureij refugee camp. Health authorities said the number of deaths resulting from these strikes so far is 33, however that number is expected to rise as there were another 73 people reported wounded, most of them critically.
Dozens of people were also wounded in the attacks on Al-Karama School east of Gaza City where the death toll hit 16.
