Israeli forces killed at least 16 Palestinian orphans and widows after bombing a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City on Saturday, according to local officials.

The orphans and widows had arrived at the Zeitoun C school in southern Gaza City to receive cash assistance as part of a charity orphan sponsorship programme.

"The women and their children were sitting in the playground of the school, the kids were playing and suddenly two rockets hit them," Said al-Malahi, a witness, told Reuters.

Another witness, Ahmed Azzam, told the news agency he did not see a single man among the wounded. "It was all women and children," he said.

The Israeli military confirmed carrying out the deadly attack, saying it was a “precise strike” on “terrorists”.

Now they don't have to be widows or orphans anymore! See Isreal is the good guys /s

Seriously thinking about not looking at the news anymore, there so much terrible bs going on and so little I can do about it. Fucking awful.

Evil bastards. Israel has to be shunned by the world until its apartheid genocidal regime is consigned to oblivion.

Good, widows and orphans over there in Gaza killing protesters, launching missiles, blowing up walkie-talkies and pagers. Not the Israeli government no sir, they are just defending themselves from the killers, these widows and orphans, I bet they are widows and orphans because they killed their husbands and parents.

Hell, an orphaned widow came to my house and shot my dad. True story, she came in yelled Admiral Akbar, and shot him dead. True story, trust me bro.

So what exactly were Hezbollah walkie talkies doing at a school?

Did you even read the article, or simply trolling?
