At Least 25 Killed in Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza Schools Housing Displaced People

Jerusalem, Israel - At least 25 people have been killed and dozens more injured in an Israeli airstrike on a school complex housing displaced people near Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, according to multiple reports from Palestinian health authorities. The ministry of health called the attack 'a heinous massacre against displaced citizens'. Israel targeted 'the gate of a school housing displaced people' in Abasan, east of Khan Younis. This is the fourth attack on or near schools sheltering displaced people in the past four days.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health and Al Jazeera reported that at least 30 people were killed in an Israeli attack on a school housing displaced civilians in Khan Younis. Israel's army ordered all Palestinian civilians to leave Gaza City as it attacked UNRWA's headquarters there, forcing the closure of key hospitals and sending thousands fleeing.

According to AP News, at least 25 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in southern Gaza. The Israeli bombardment and ground assault in Gaza City forced the closure of medical facilities and sent thousands fleeing. Large parts of Gaza City have been flattened or left shattered after nine months of fighting.

The sources for this article include CNN, Al Jazeera, AP News, and various Palestinian health authorities. It is important to note that all sources should be approached with skepticism due to potential biases and the complexity of the situation in Gaza.

    • At least 13 out of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are functioning, with only partial capacity
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position of Israeli airstrikes killing civilians in Gaza. The article does not provide any context or counter-arguments from Israel. Additionally, the author uses emotional manipulation by describing the deaths of civilians and their suffering in detail.
    • An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in southern Gaza killed at least 25 Palestinians on Tuesday
    • The fighting has been intense
    • The strike at the entrance to the school killed at least 25 people, according to an Associated Press reporter who counted the bodies at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. Hospital spokesperson Weam Fares said the dead included at least seven women and children and that the toll was likely to rise.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. The author uses phrases such as 'heavy bombardment', 'intense fighting', and 'striking anything moving' to create a sense of urgency and danger. These phrases are not fallacies in themselves, but they can be used to manipulate the reader's emotions. Additionally, the article quotes several individuals who make assertions about Israeli military actions without providing any evidence or context. For example, 'The Israeli army said the airstrike near the school and reports of civilian casualties were under review.' This statement is an appeal to authority as it relies on the word of the Israeli army without providing any evidence or alternative perspectives. Another example is 'Israel accuses Hamas and other militants of hiding among civilians.' This statement is also an appeal to authority as it relies on the assertions of Israel without providing any evidence or context. The article also contains several instances of dichotomous depiction, where the situation in Gaza is portrayed as either completely destroyed or completely safe, with no nuance or complexity. For example, 'Large parts of Gaza City and urban areas around it have been flattened or left a shattered landscape after nine months of fighting.' This statement creates a sense of total devastation, but it does not provide any context about the extent of the damage or who is responsible for it. Similarly, 'Scores of patients were transferred to the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, which itself was the scene of heavy fighting earlier in the war.' This statement implies that the Indonesian Hospital is completely safe now, but it does not provide any context about whether there is still ongoing fighting or if there are any risks to patients. Overall, while there are no clear logical fallacies in the article, it contains several instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority that can be manipulative and misleading.

    The article contains several instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. The Palestinian Ministry of Health, Hamas, and the Government Media Office in Gaza all use inflammatory language to describe the Israeli airstrike as a 'massacre' or 'genocidal war.' They also call on international communities, UN, and NGOs to put pressure on Israel and the US. These statements are not based on facts presented in the article but rather emotional appeals. The IDF statement is an example of an appeal to authority as they claim that they struck a terrorist who took part in the October 7 attacks without providing any evidence or context for this claim.
