An Israeli airstrike struck a school in Gaza City’s Shati refugee camp on Saturday, killing 10 Palestinians and injuring at least 20 others, according to local medics. The facility, the U.N.-run Abu Assi school, was serving as a shelter for displaced families. Rescue operations are still underway as health officials fear more individuals remain trapped beneath the rubble. Israeli authorities have yet to comment on the incident.
Gaza Conflict Intensifies with Ongoing Rocket Launches
Later on Saturday, the Israeli military announced the interception of two rockets launched from the northern Gaza Strip. This development underscores the ongoing capability of Palestinian militant groups to fire rockets into Israel, despite over a year of intense aerial and ground offensives. These campaigns have devastated significant parts of Gaza and displaced most of its 2.3 million residents.
Rising Casualties Amid Prolonged Violence
Palestinian health officials reported that at least 30 people were killed by Israeli airstrikes across Gaza on the same day. Since the conflict escalated on October 7, 2023, the Gaza health ministry confirms a death toll of 43,799. This deadly escalation began after Hamas militants launched a large-scale attack on Israel, killing approximately 1,200 people and abducting around 250 hostages, some of whom remain in captivity.
