EU chief Ursula von der Leyen denounces as “abhorrent” Israel’s deadly wave of strikes on civilian facilities in Gaza, including a school-turned-shelter, during a call with Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
“The expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza targeting civilian infrastructure, among them a school that served as a shelter for displaced Palestinian families, killing civilians, including children, is abhorrent,” von der Leyen says, according to a European Commission readout of the call.
The Israel Defense Forces said its strike on the school targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists who had turned the facility into a command center.
