An Israeli air strike on the Mustafa Hafez school in Gaza City, which was sheltering Palestinians displaced by the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, killed at least 12 people, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's civil defence agency. The strike contributed to a total of at least 25 deaths in Gaza from Israeli attacks on Thursday. The incident was confirmed by multiple sources including Gaza rescuers and local journalists, who reported scenes of children wandering through the damaged shelter amid burnt debris. The broader conflict has resulted in over 57,100 Palestinian deaths to date.
