The UN Human Rights Office condemned on Saturday the increasing frequency of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) strikes on schools, where hundreds of thousands of forcibly displaced Palestinians have sought shelter, with the latest attacks killing dozens at a Gaza City school.

At around 4:30am during dawn prayer on Saturday, a mosque inside Al Tabaeen School was struck by the IDF "at least three times", the UN rights office, OHCHR, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory said in a statement, adding that the attacks were "conducted with apparent disregard for the high rate of civilian fatalities".
