Rights group finds no evidence of military presence at school

Aug 12, 2024

Tel Aviv [Israel]/Gaza [Palestine], August 12: An initial investigation by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has found no evidence of a military presence at the site of the al-Tabin School massacre in Gaza that killed more than 100 people.
"According to all available information and testimonies, there were no military gatherings or command centres at the school, and it was never used for military objectives. Survivors testified that the school was providing shelter to hundreds of children whose families felt safe there," the group said.
"The narrow layout of the school and the lack of launch pads and shelters would make it impossible for the site to be used for military operations. The building's cramped layout and tight spaces make it unsuitable for military operations that call for planning and logistical assistance." (Agencies)
