An Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced people in southern Gaza City killed 22, including 13 children and six women, according to Gaza's health ministry. The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted a Hamas command center embedded within the school compound, reiterating accusations that Hamas uses civilian areas for military operations, which Hamas denies. Witnesses described children playing in the schoolyard before the attack. Gaza’s health ministry also reported the deaths of four medical workers in a separate strike in Rafah. Over 41,000 Palestinians have died since the conflict reignited on October 7, according to local health officials.
