China News Service, Beijing, August 11 Comprehensive News: According to the Algerian News Agency on the 10th local time, the country called on the UN Security Council to hold an emergency public meeting on the 13th regarding Israel's bombing of a school in the Gaza Strip on the 10th.

The report quoted a diplomatic source in New York as saying that the request was made after consultation with the Palestinians and that it had the support of other members of the Security Council.

According to AFP, the Civil Defense Department of the Gaza Strip said that Israel's attack on the 10th killed at least 93 people, including women and children. The report said that the Israeli army disputed the death toll.

According to the Times of Israel, IDF spokesman Hagari said in a video statement on the 10th that the IDF carried out a "precision strike" on "terrorists" in a specific building on the campus that day. According to intelligence, there were no women and children in the area hit.

The IDF said on social media on the 10th that it can be confirmed that at least 19 members of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Jihad) were killed in the operation. The IDF said that the position of the "terrorists" was not seriously damaged and many measures had been taken before the attack to reduce the risk of harming civilians.

Borrell, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said on social media on the 10th that he was "shocked" by the images of the school attacked by Israel. He said that in the past few weeks, at least 10 schools have been targeted and "there is no justification for launching these massacres."

According to the UN website, data shows that since July 4, at least 21 attacks on schools have occurred in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 274 people, including women and children. It is reported that these schools are currently shelters for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians.

According to the White House website, Sean Savett, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, issued a statement on the 10th saying that the US is in contact with Israel and asking it to provide more details about the attack. The statement said that this incident highlights the urgency of reaching a ceasefire and hostage release agreement, "We will continue to work tirelessly to achieve this goal."

Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 10th condemning Israel's attack that day, calling the attack a "horrible massacre" and a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

The statement said that Qatar once again called on the international community to launch an urgent investigation and asked the United Nations to send independent investigators to investigate the Israeli army's continued attacks on schools and shelters for displaced persons. The statement also said that the international community must provide comprehensive protection for displaced persons to prevent the Israeli army from forcibly expelling them from the Gaza Strip.

According to Egypt's official Al-Ahram Online website, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the Israeli attack on the 10th, saying it showed Israel's lack of willingness to end the war.

The leaders of Qatar, Egypt and the United States issued a joint statement on the 8th, calling on Israel and Hamas to resume ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip on the 15th. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office confirmed on the 9th that Israeli representatives will participate in the negotiations. (End)
