Mass Murder in Gaza: Human Rights Organizations Condemn Israeli Occupation Forces

Palestinian human rights organizations have strongly condemned the mass murder of hundreds of worshipers and displaced persons by Israeli occupation forces in Gaza, killing 97 people in a school chapel sheltering thousands of displaced men and women.
