[โ€“] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (6 children)

I find it suspicious that they don't say how many of the 90 casualties are children and seem to imply that it's not the majority.

If it was actually a school, you'd expect it to be 80+ children.

If they manage to hit 90 people at a school and say 60 of them were adults, then it was definitely Hamas using children as human shields again.

I suspect it's the later, but id love to see the actual numbers.

Edit: I found more info, the school wasn't being used as a school at all. It had been turned into a shelter a while ago. So the fact that the article is talking about the destruction of education is just patently false.
