00:00 After an Israeli strike killed dozens of Gazans sheltering in an Unruh-run school on Wednesday,
00:06 Israel maintains that the school in question was a legitimate target.
00:10 Our precise strike was based on concrete intelligence from multiple sources.
00:17 The terrorists inside the school were planning more attacks against Israelis, some of them
00:22 imminent.
00:25 We stopped a ticking time bomb.
00:29 Adding that some of the targets were involved in the 7th of October massacres.
00:33 But the international community has called for accountability.
00:36 We've seen the claims that 14 children were killed in this strike.
00:39 If that is accurate that 14 children were killed, those aren't terrorists.
00:44 And so the government of Israel has said that they are going to release more information
00:48 about this strike, including the names of those who died in it.
00:51 We expect them to be fully transparent.
00:54 Body bags piled high at Al-Aqsa Marta's hospital on Wednesday night, where grieving families
00:59 gathered on Thursday morning to identify their loved ones.
01:02 According to the UN Refugee Agency, 6,000 displaced Gazans were housed in the school
01:08 and were given no warning of the strike.
01:11 It's just another horrific example of the price that civilians are paying.
01:16 That Palestinian men, women and children who are just trying to survive, who are being
01:21 forced to move around in sort of a death circle around Gaza, trying to find safety.
01:28 In a communique co-signed by 16 world leaders, Joe Biden urged Hamas to accept the ceasefire
01:34 agreement currently on the table.
