Israeli Airstrike on Gaza School Kills 11, Injures Many
An Israeli airstrike on Safad School in Gaza City has resulted in the deaths of at least 11 people, including a woman and a child, according to local health officials. The school, located in the Zeitoun neighborhood, was being used as a shelter for displaced Palestinians. The Israeli military confirmed that the strike targeted a Hamas command center within the school.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas began after Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7, leading to the deaths of 1,205 people, primarily civilians. In response, the Israeli military has conducted extensive bombing campaigns in the Gaza Strip, which have resulted in the deaths of at least 40,738 Palestinians, with the majority being women and children. The international community has expressed concern over the humanitarian impact, with calls for a ceasefire and measures to protect civilians.
