Israeli Airstrike on Gaza School Shelter Leaves Dozens Dead
The attack, targeting alleged militants, has drawn international concern over civilian casualties and humanitarian conditions.
- At least 28 people, including children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school used as a shelter in the Jabaliya neighborhood of Gaza City.
- The Israeli military claims the school was being used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, though Hamas denies these allegations.
- Health officials report that the attack also injured dozens and caused a significant fire, exacerbated by the lack of water for firefighting.
- The United Nations and human rights groups have warned that forced evacuations and blockades in northern Gaza may constitute war crimes.
- Following international pressure, Israel has allowed limited aid into northern Gaza, but humanitarian conditions remain dire.
