Israeli tank shells killed at least 40 Palestinians today at a UN school where civilians had taken shelter, medical officials said, in carnage likely to boost international calls for a halt to Israel's Gaza offensive.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said she was looking into information on the incident at al-Fakhora school in Jabalya refugee camp.
People cut down by shrapnel lay in pools of blood on the street. Witnesses said two Israeli tanks shells exploded outside the school, killing at least 40 civilians - Palestinians who had taken refuge there and residents of nearby buildings.
In a separate attack earlier in the day, three Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on another school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.
The deaths raised to 75 the number of Palestinian civilians killed on Tuesday alone, according to medical officials.
They said four militants also were killed in fighting during the day and put the total Palestinian death toll since Israel began the offensive on 19 December at 629.
More than 2,700 Palestinians have been wounded since Israel began the campaign with the declared aim of ending Hamas rocket attacks on its southern towns. Nine Israelis, including three civilians hit by rocket fire, have been killed in the conflict.
At least five rockets fired from the Gaza Strip landed in Israel on Tuesday, including one that hit the town of Gadera, 28 km from Tel Aviv, police said. A three-year-old girl was wounded.

Hamas reprimanded the cease-fire agreement and told Israel they were going to continue suicide bombing. Israel, which is known for their defense tactics stepped in and started to fight in their defense. This war, is very justified! Israel broke the cease-fire, and not forthwith but eventually.. by continually patrolling Gaza and targetting random civilians. And don't spout lame non-sensical notions like this heinous massacring is in defence. You have to be insane to even think you can justify the death of innocent women and children (and it isn't inevitable in this case), while at the same time being a hypocrite by asserting that you are targetting terrorists... the cowardly terrorist hide among civilans, so all killing is justified!

incorrect, israel broke the ceasefire back in november.
I doubt it would be so shocking if the US army did it...

Israel has invaded Gaza Strip because the Hamas leaders reprimanded a cease-fire agreement and said they were going to take action(continue suicide-bombing) in Israel.

And that give them the right to kill kids
Surely this will cause the world to take note. Of all the fights America's in, this should be one, and should be for Palestine. Israel have no right to murder civillians!
The U.N. hasn't even made an official comment, or an appeal for the violence to stop. Because of the ''unnamed'' Permanent Security Counsil countrys veto.
ohh fuck. not even gonna touch that.
