Gaza's civil defense agency reported that eight people, including two children, were killed in an Israeli air strike on a school-turned-shelter in the northern Gaza city of Jabalia. The Israeli military acknowledged conducting the strike, stating that it targeted Hamas militants who were using the school as a command-and-control center. This attack is part of a series of Israeli strikes on school buildings housing displaced people in Gaza. The Israeli military accuses Hamas of hiding in these buildings, a charge denied by the Palestinian militant group. The conflict in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis.
