An airstrike by the Israel Defense Forces on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City resulted in at least 60 people killed and dozens injured on a Saturday morning. The strike targeted a Hamas command center believed to be within the school, but Hamas has denied its presence, calling the attack a “heinous massacre.” The death toll is expected to rise, with many bodies unidentifiable due to the severity of injuries sustained by victims sheltering in the school. The strike is one of the deadliest incidents in a 10-month war where hundreds of Gaza’s schools have been hit or damaged. Humanitarian aid and medical equipment shortages have hampered rescue efforts, with the Civil Defense struggling to save lives with limited resources. Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Hamas have been ongoing, with a focus on achieving a cease-fire agreement and securing the release of hostages. The international community has condemned the attack, with Hamas calling for urgent action to prevent further “massacres.” The strike highlights the ongoing violence in the region and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
