An Israeli strike on a school in central Gaza has resulted in a tragic loss of life, with at least 30 people reported dead by local health officials. The strike, which targeted a school that the Israeli military claimed was being used as a 'Hamas compound,' occurred amidst new air and ground operations in central Gaza.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah received the bodies of the victims, with 30 from the school strike and six from a separate strike on a home. The Israeli military stated that the school, run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, was allegedly being used as a cover for Hamas and Islamic Jihad operations.
