Israeli airstrike on Gaza school shelter kills at least 16 people
Summary: An Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced people in central Gaza has killed at least 16 individuals, according to Palestinian medical officials. The strike also injured 32 others in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
This incident is part of ongoing violence since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants attacked southern Israel. Israel's military claims to target Hamas fighters, but many civilian casualties have occurred.
The war has resulted in over 42,000 Palestinian deaths, with a significant number being women and children. The conflict has displaced around 90% of Gaza's population, leading to overcrowded tent camps along the coast.
