Gaza School Hit By Israeli Air Strike, Over 100 Killed

Israel-Hamas Conflict: The official Palestinian news agency reported that an Israeli strike on a Gaza school, which was sheltering displaced people, killed over 100 Palestinians and injured dozens on Saturday. The Israeli army stated that it targeted a Hamas command center.

The Hamas-run Gaza government media office stated that the Israeli strikes targeted displaced people during their Fajr (dawn) prayers, which led to a rapid increase in the number of casualties.

In its statement, the Israeli army said that its air forces targeted a command and control center that served as a hideout for Hamas terrorists and commanders.
