Israel bombs Gaza school whilst displaced Palestinians prayed, killing at least 100
Videos obtained by MEE showed scores of bodies strewn across the floor of the Tabin school in Gaza City after it was targeted in an early morning strike
At least 100 Palestinian civilians, including children, were killed at dawn on Saturday after Israeli forces targeted a school in Gaza City whilst displaced people performed morning prayers.
Videos obtained by Middle East Eye showed charred bodies and limbs strewn across a concrete floor, as people scrambled to find their loved ones following the attacks.
Gaza's civil defence agency described the attack as a "horrific massacre," and said three Israeli rockets hit the Tabin school, located in Gaza City's al-Daraj district, whilst Palestinians performed early morning Fajr prayers.

Found a picture claimed to be of the aftermath (unconfirmed yet)
NSFL (gore+death): image
Either you forgot to post it or it was removed.
I do not think this photo is necessary to be viewed. We know what the aftermath of these attacks look like. The victims and their families deserve peace, not to be made a spectacle.
people have been desentizied reading numbers. let them see it to remind them how these "numbers" are kids and women who have become cut up bodies and amputees
That's a fair and valid criticism of the way western media is censoring the ongoing genocide. I do think there is some merit in reminding people of the brutality that is being enacted on men women and children. I don't agree that showcasing these kinds of images in this way is the way to go about it. Images of graphic violence can be exploitative, they can be voyeuristic and serve actually to dehumanize victims rather than humanize them. I think photos of survivors with wounds, people being taken to hospital, and the ruins of the area left behind are important and should be spread far and wide.
I do not think that photos of mangled bodies are worthwhile though. I do not feel that images of horrifically torn apart and disfigured remains serve any function beyond satiating a curiosity some have. I feel the same way about photos and videos taken after mass shootings or other large scale acts of horrific violence. It's important that people understand what took place but it doesn't have to be conveyed in this manner.
It needs to be on the news
It's not on the news. Total silence in Western media.
I think people like you specifically should look at the image
I've watched videos of it in the past that were posted online. I just disagree that showcasing horrific gore and violence in this manner is necessary. It is necessary for people to understand what's happening, if they don't. But in the aftermath of mass shootings and other forms of large scale graphic violence I don't think it's necessary to showcase images of dead and mangled bodies. It's a kind of voyeurism I personally find distasteful and disrespectful to those that died. Pictures of survivors with wounds, hospitals full of patients. Rubble and ruins. Those things are worthwhile in my mind. But not mangled corpses.
There are a lot of people who don't understand what is happening.
Though, to be fair to you, they probably aren't on Lemmy. This seems to be an entirely anti-Zionist federation.
A big reason many people still vote Democrat with a "clean conscience" is because they never see the images of the terror and what the word Genocide really entails.
Very few people would still say "yeah but Trump would do more Genocide" after confronted with this kind of image.
Idk what makes you believe that. These images are and have always been available online. Similar albeit less graphic images appear frequently on news sites all around the world. People don't support genocide because they aren't aware of how brutal it is, they support it because they do not view the victims of genocide as human.
Surprisingly most people don't know what these aftermaths looks like. For Palestinians the news shows bodies wrapped in cloth which makes the situation seem far less brutal than it is.
