Over 100 Palestinians Killed in Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza, Including Children and Women at Khadija School

Israeli attacks on Gaza resulted in the deaths of over 70 Palestinians, including children and women, across central and southern Gaza on July 28-29, according to various sources. The fatalities were reportedly caused by Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas command centers and other structures.

One of the deadliest incidents occurred at Khadija School in Deir el-Balah, where over 30 people were killed and more than 100 others injured. Fifteen children and eight women were among those killed in this attack, according to Palestinian officials.

Another airstrike hit tents in the Al-Mawasi area, which is designated as a 'humanitarian zone' for displaced Palestinians. Four people, including an infant girl, were reportedly killed in this incident.

The Israeli military claimed that it was targeting Hamas command and control centers and other military targets. However, the Palestinian authorities accused Israel of disproportionately targeting civilians and violating international law.

Since October 7, 2021, Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of over 39,000 Palestinians and injuries to over 90,00 other people. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate with no end in sight.

  • Fallacies (80%)
    The article contains several instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to emotion. The author describes the deaths of Palestinians as 'Israeli attacks killed at least 19 Palestinians, including children,' which is an emotional appeal to the reader. The author also quotes a man who lost his family in an attack saying 'My son, my son, my brother, his wife, his sister, and my sister are all gone,' which is another emotional appeal. Additionally, the article includes a quote from Gaza's Civil Defense that says 'At least 10 people were killed in an airstrike on a house in central Khan Younis,' which is an appeal to authority as it positions the Civil Defense as an authoritative source. The article also contains several instances of dichotomous depiction, such as describing the Israeli military's actions as 'attacks' and 'war on Hamas,' while not providing any context or nuance for the reader.
