On 6 June 2024, the Israel Defense Forces fired two missiles at Al-Sardi, a UNRWA school in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Though the complex had not been used as a school since the outbreak of the war, UNRWA said approximately 6,000 people were using it for shelter.[2]
Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital and the Gaza Health Ministry reported that at least 33 Palestinians were killed, including 9 children, 3 women, and 21 men.[2][1][4] UNRWA reported at least 35 dead.[3] The IDF said it struck Hamas militants, allegedly present at the school, but did not provide any evidence for the claim.[5] Israel said it killed 20–30 militants, and named 17 individuals that it said were militants.[6][7] Eight of these names did not match hospital records, and one named referred to an eight-year old boy according to the hospital.[8]
The attack was condemned by the United Nations, Belgium and Oxfam. The United States said the attack did not "cross a red line".[9] Analysis showed that American made GBU-39 precision-guided glide bombs were used in the attack.
