Must read


An Israeli airstrike has hit a school in central Gaza, killing at least 30 people, Palestinian health officials have said.

The Hamas-run health ministry said another 100 people were wounded.

The strike hit the Khadija girls’ school in Deir al Balah, one of the areas most populated with displaced families.

The Israeli military said it had targeted a Hamas command centre.

It said the school was being used to launch attacks against troops and as a weapons cache and that it had warned civilians beforehand.

Wounded Palestinians have been taken to the nearby al Aqsa Hospital, others arrived there bloodied on foot.

Israel has previously said Hamas deliberately embeds itself within civilian populations as cover.

Palestinian media said at least 14 people also died in Israeli strikes on Saturday in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

Israeli military said it had urged people to temporarily evacuate southern neighbourhoods and relocate to a humanitarian area in al Mawasi so it could “forcibly operate” there.
