Israeli air strike kills 11 in refugee camp just hours before Netanyahu claims his government ‘seeks peace’
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, September 27, 2024

AN ISRAELI air strike hit a school sheltering thousands of displaced Palestinians, killing 11 people, just hours before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN his government “seeks peace.”

The Israeli military confirmed it struck the al-Falouja School in Jabalia refugee camp on Thursday, even as it turned its focus to Lebanon, saying it was targeting Hamas militants inside who were planning attacks on Israeli troops.

The claim could not be independently confirmed.
