Houthis accuse US of supporting Israeli missile strike on Gaza school

The Houthi leadership in Yemen has accused Israel of carrying out a missile strike, with US backing, on a school in the Gaza Strip, resulting in over 90 fatalities.

Mohammad Abdul Salam, the spokesman and chief negotiator of the movement, claimed that Israel, with full US support, executed a "brutal massacre" against displaced individuals gathered for morning prayers at the Gaza school, Caliber.Az reports per Russian media.

The Houthis have condemned both the Israeli attack and the US for its continued support of Israel.

The Israeli military has confirmed an airstrike on the al-Tabain school in the Gaza Strip, which it alleges served as a command centre for the Palestinian Hamas movement.

The school was used to plan attacks against Israeli forces and the state of Israel.

The IDF stated that extensive precautions were taken to minimize civilian harm, including the use of precision-guided munitions, aerial surveillance, and intelligence.

Palestinian media and other sources report that the strike has resulted in at least 100 deaths and numerous injuries. Earlier, Mahmoud Basal, a representative of the Civil Defence Agency in Gaza, reported around 40 deaths. He added that rescuers are working to control fires and recover bodies from the rubble.
