Security sources told Xinhua news agency on Tuesday that Israeli aircraft used at least one missile to target the gate of al-Awda school in the city of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, which houses hundreds of displaced people.

According to the report of Xinhua news agency, dozens of blood-soaked bodies are seen lying on the ground in a video shared by Palestinian activists on the social media platform Facebook.

Medical sources said at least 25 people, including women and children, were killed and dozens injured to varying degrees in the Israeli airstrike.

Sources told Xinhua that the number of victims is expected to increase due to the influx of displaced people in the area.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military about the incident.
