Al-Sardi school attack
2024 Israeli airstrike on school in Nuseirat refugee camp
On 6 June 2024, the Israel Defense Forces fired two missiles that hit Al-Sardi, a UNRWA school in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Though the complex had not been used as a school since the outbreak of the war, UNRWA said approximately 6,000 people were using it for shelter.
Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital and the Gaza Health Ministry reported that at least 33 Palestinians were killed, including 9 children, 3 women, and 21 men. UNRWA reported at least 35 dead. The IDF said it struck Hamas militants, allegedly present at the school, and that it took extensive precautions to reduce harm to civilians. Israel said it killed 20–30 militants, and named 17 individuals that it said were militants. Eight of these names did not match hospital records, and one named referred to an eight-year-old boy according to the hospital.
The attack was condemned by the United Nations, Belgium and Oxfam. The United States said the attack did not "cross a red line". Analysis showed that American made GBU-39 precision-guided glide bombs were used in the attack.
