Dozens killed in Israeli strike on UN school in Gaza

The Israeli military conducted a precision strike on a Hamas compound in a UN-run school in Gaza, killing at least 37 people, including four children and one woman. The US has called on Israel to publicly identify the Hamas fighters it claims were killed in the strike. However, Israel rarely identifies militants it targets in air strikes.

The Israeli army has acknowledged an airstrike on a United Nations school-turned-shelter in central Gaza, claiming it was a "precision" operation targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad militiamen. According to reports, at least 15 corpses were seen wrapped in blankets or white bags. The Israeli military stated that the strike targeted three rooms where displaced people were taking shelter. However, Palestinian officials reported a higher death toll, including women, children, and older people.

The Israeli military has launched a new operation in central Gaza, resulting in the deaths of dozens of people. According to Doctors Without Borders, at least 70 bodies have been taken to hospital since Tuesday. The exact death toll is unclear, but reports indicate that it is likely to be in the dozens.
