ISRAELI forces killed at least 15 Palestinians today when they stormed a school in Gaza being used as shelter for displaced people, according to local sources.

Eyewitnesses told reporters from the Al Jazeera network that scores of other people were injured during the attack on the Khalil Oweida School in the northern Gaza city of Beit Hanoon.

This came a day after an Israeli air strike hit another school in Gaza City killing at least seven people.
