A school in northern Gaza burned down on Monday, hours after humanitarian aid trucks had arrived to it, according to photos and accounts by locals. Residents of the area said Israeli soldiers had set the fire that consumed the school.
A video seen on social media on Sunday, taken by an IDF soldier, showed two Israeli armored vehicles leaving the school surroundings as it was engulfed in flames
Staff from the UN World Food Program, which sent the aid, as well as other international sources, said Gazans did not even have time to collect the aid. They said the military launched an attack in the area and soldiers had surrounded the building before the food was distributed.
The convoy, consisting of two trucks and a water tanker, was the first to be approved by the military to enter northern Gaza after a month and a half of siege. The decision followed international pressure over the failure to deliver aid to Gazans.
Witnesses said soldiers forced civilians away from the area, preventing them from collecting the aid, which was later destroyed by the fire. Reports also said civilians had been killed at the site. The soldiers involved belonged to the Rotem Battalion in the Givati Brigade, the reports said.
Other footage was posted on Thursday showing fires at schools in northern Gaza. A video from the Jabalya refugee camp showed a soldier standing in the yard of a burning school. Another video showed a large blaze in the Salah al-Din School in Gaza City, which had been serving as a shelter for refugees.
This is not a court proceeding, so saying “hearsay is not evidence” is pointless. Witness testimony before a court would be evidence. And all we know as of now points towards Israel doing it. The details will have to be proven in court, when they eventually get their Nuremberg.
this holy war will not go on for another 80 years. because at the current rate, every Palestinian left in Gaza will be dead in a year. and you seem to be fine with Israel withholding aid and now, according to current evidence (but not yet proven in an international court) destroying or helping destroy what little aid does get in.
I’m done with this, I’m blocking you now. I’m sick of having to argue that genocide is wrong.
This latest aid convoy was also forced to abandon their planned departure time and route by the Israeli military and told to go early and on an unfamiliar route where they wound up getting attacked and hijacked. This was so obviously planned out by Israel.
I’m not sure. The one I’m referring to just happened and was the first one after all the recent reporting of the famine and humanitarian issues happening in Gaza.
Israeli soldiers have also set a school on fire right after it got aid to prevent the starving population from getting any aid
Is there evidence that the Israeli soldiers did it?

If you’re not even going to believe Israeli media…
Idiots believe “media”, intelligent people believe concrete evidence, of which there is none to back up the original claim.
Wouldn’t be the first time…

And the other possibility is that Hamas set their own school on fire because…?
I love that you will attempt to break that argument down, yet just ignore the complete idiocy of the only real alternative.
Nothing can ever happen unless maplebar witnesses it personally

Didn’t this happen some time ago or did they just do it again?
