Israeli warplanes bombed Al Aqsa University, the School of Applied Sciences, and three other schools, where more than 30,000 displaced civilians took shelter. At least 40 civilians were reportedly killed. “There are dozens of dead and injured at the bombed points and roads,” Palestinian Health Ministry Spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra stated.
Palestinians began to dig mass graves in the garden of Nasser Hospital with their hands and shovels because Israeli tanks blocked the roads outside the hospital.
