At least 93 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza that was serving as a shelter for displaced people. This attack, which occurred during dawn prayers, has drawn widespread international condemnation and raised concerns over the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the strike, claiming it targeted a Hamas command center. However, local officials and witnesses report that the victims were primarily civilians, including children and the elderly. The death toll is expected to rise as many of the injured are in critical condition due to severe burns and injuries.
This incident marks one of the deadliest attacks in the ongoing conflict, which has already claimed the lives of over 39,000 Palestinians since it began in October 2023. The attack has complicated ongoing international efforts to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
