An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City killed at least 80 people and injured nearly 50 others, according to Palestinian health authorities. The Israeli military acknowledged the strike, claiming it targeted a Hamas command center within the school’s mosque compound, killing 19 militants. However, Palestinian officials denied any militant presence. The U.N. condemned the attack, noting it was part of a pattern of strikes on schools, with over 21 attacks since July 4. Israel disputed the casualty numbers, asserting that the munitions used couldn’t have caused such extensive damage.
