Information has spread on social media about a horrific massacre at Rafidah School in Deir al-Balah.
Kashif verified the information and found it to be fabricated. Kashif contacted journalists Anwar Aslih, Baraa Al-Zayan, and Mohammed Khalifa, who are in Deir Al-Balah city, and they denied that the Rufaida School was targeted.
They confirmed that Rafidah School was not targeted on Thursday 7/11/2024, and that the school witnessed a massacre earlier on 10/10/2024.
Kashif also contacted activist Mahmoud Ahmed, who was present next to the Rafidah School, and he also denied that the school had been targeted on Thursday 7/11/2014.
It is worth noting that the occupation army targeted the Rafidah School , which is considered a shelter for the displaced, on 10/10/2024, which caused a massacre that resulted in 28 martyrs and more than 54 injuries, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
On Thursday 7/11/2024, the Israeli occupation army targeted the Shaheber School in Gaza City, killing 11 people, and the Al-Rimal School in the city of Ghor, killing 4.
According to the latest update from the Palestinian Ministry of Health on 5/11/2024, the Israeli occupation’s aggression on the Gaza Strip resulted in the killing of 43,391 citizens and the injury of 102,350 others, the majority of whom were children and women.
