Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza School Kill Dozens
On Saturday, Israeli airstrikes targeted a school used by displaced Palestinians in central Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 30 people, including children and women. The Israeli military claimed that the attack aimed at a Hamas command center, while Hamas disputed these claims. Thousands of people sought refuge in schools, which also served as medical points.
Ceasefire Talks Amid Ongoing Violence
Officials from the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Israel are set to meet in Italy to discuss ceasefire talks, despite the continued violence. A preliminary agreement between Israel and Hamas has been outlined, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the conflict until achieving “total victory,” drawing criticism from Palestinian officials.
Humanitarian Crisis Escalates in Gaza
The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders in Gaza’s designated humanitarian zone, exacerbating the existing crisis. Health centers have been forced to stop operations, adding to issues such as waste accumulation and shortages. The situation in Gaza remains dire, with a large population seeking refuge in a relatively unsafe zone amidst ongoing attacks.
