At least 27 Palestinians, including many women and children, have reportedly lost their lives in an Israeli air strike targeting a school in northern Gaza, where displaced families had sought refuge. The Hamas-run health ministry provided the grim toll, citing the Dar al-Arqam school in the northeastern Tuffah district as the site of the tragedy. Eyewitnesses and officials have reported dozens more injured in the incident. The Israeli military, however, has claimed the strike targeted a Hamas command and control center, neglecting to mention the presence of the school. The air strikes have escalated, part of Israel's broader military operations in response to previous attacks, with the IDF asserting they are acting against prominent terrorist targets.

An Israeli military operation has led to significant casualties, including women and children, according to Gaza's health ministry.
The casualty figures have been escalating, with an earlier report from the health ministry indicating the deaths of another 97 individuals in Israeli strikes over a 24-hour period. The ongoing military operations have led to increased evacuations and displacement, with a significant number of Palestinian civilians caught in the conflict. The international community continues to closely monitor the escalating tensions as both sides remain entrenched in their positions regarding ceasefire negotiations.
