Victims include 16 people killed in northern Gaza, where Israeli army carries out deadly onslaught - Anadolu Ajansı

According to Al Jazeera, the attack on the school came after the Israeli military ordered displaced Palestinians in the town to flee to the south of the Gaza Strip on Tuesday. Despite allowing aid to enter Beit Hanoun, the Israeli army deepened its incursion into the town, forcing most remaining residents to leave.

Residents said Israeli forces besieged shelters housing displaced families and the remaining population, which some estimated at a few thousand, ordering them to head south through a checkpoint separating two towns and a refugee camp in the north from Gaza City.

Four Israeli soldiers have been killed in the north of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military reported on Tuesday. The dead soldiers were non-commissioned officers aged 20 and 21, it said. Israeli media reports said they were killed when an antitank weapon fired by Palestinian forces struck a building where they were sheltering in the Jabalia refugee camp to the north of Gaza City.
