The Belgian Foreign Ministry condemned the recent Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza, reiterating its demand for a ceasefire.
"According to @UN, more than 20 strikes on schools sheltering displaced people took place since July 4, killing nearly 300 people," the European country said on the social media platform X. The ministry emphasized the need to halt attacks on civilians and insisted on adherence to international humanitarian law. "Attacks against civilians must stop. #IHL must be respected," it stressed
On Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike against the Mustafa Khaft School in Gaza City sheltering displaced people claimed the lives of at least 12 Palestinians, the media said. Also, the Israeli forces issued another evacuation order for a so-called "humanitarian zone" in the city of Deir al Balah in central Gaza.
