CAIRO: Israeli troops killed at least 22 Palestinians, most of them in the northern Gaza Strip, on Sunday in air strikes and other attacks on targets that included a school sheltering displaced Gazans, medics and residents said.
In Beit Hanoun, Israeli forces besieged families sheltering in Khalil Aweida school before storming it and ordering them to head towards Gaza City, the medics and residents said. Medics said several people were killed and wounded during the raid on the school while the army detained many men. The number killed was not immediately clear. Palestinians accuse Israel of carrying out ethnic cleansing to depopulate the areas at the northern edge to create a buffer zone. — Reuters
