According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza, an Israeli special forces unit had entered the Nuseirat camp. When the resistance movement discovered the unit, heavy confrontations ensued. According to our correspondent, it was the discovery of the unit that led to this heavy Israeli artillery shelling and the massacre in the camp.

Earlier, on Thursday, June 6, 32 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in an Israeli attack on a UNRWA school that houses displaced Palestinians in the Camp 2 area of ​​Nuseirat in central Gaza. The correspondent stated that the occupying force’s fighter jets carried out this massacre after midnight, adding that the bombed al-Sardi school houses displaced Palestinians.

Contrary to the Israeli occupation forces’ claim that they did not kill any children in the Nuseirat massacre, the government media office in the Gaza Strip debunked this false claim by publishing the names of the children killed in the IOF’s targeted bombing of the Nuseirat school.
