On 13 December 2023, the bodies of fifteen Palestinians were discovered at the Shadia Abu Ghazala School, west of Jabalia refugee camp in Al-Faluja, Gaza Strip. The school had been used as a shelter and had been surrounded by the Israeli military for several days. Images released several days after showed damage to the school's interior.
Witnesses
Eyewitnesses reported the victims had been shot and killed point-blank by Israeli soldiers. A woman stated, "They took all men, then entered classrooms and opened fire on a woman and all the children with her."
A grandfather of some of the victims stated that IDF soldiers had entered the school and began shooting indiscriminately, stating, "They are my children and grandchildren. Why did they shoot them in front of my eyes?"
Reactions
The Euro-Med Monitor stated the victims were subjected to “field executions” while being questioned. The Council on American-Islamic Relations called on the Biden administration to respond to reports of the massacre.
