Israeli airstrike on Gaza school kills 17, including children
Summary: An Israeli airstrike on a school in Nuseirat camp, Gaza, killed at least 17 Palestinians, including children, on Thursday. The school was sheltering displaced people amid ongoing conflict. Israel claims it targeted a Hamas command center at the site.
The strike follows the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, but hopes for a ceasefire have not materialized. In northern Gaza, Israeli forces have evacuated many civilians and detained over 200 suspected militants during their operations.
Health officials report severe shortages of medical supplies and have refused Israeli orders to evacuate hospitals. The ongoing conflict has resulted in nearly 43,000 deaths in Gaza, with most of the population displaced.
