Israeli Airstrike on Gaza School Kills 22 Civilians

An Israeli airstrike on a UN-run school in central Gaza, used as a shelter by displaced people, reportedly killed at least 22 Palestinians and wounded 100 others. The Israeli military claimed it targeted Hamas terrorists operating from the school, but witnesses denied the presence of armed fighters. This incident marks the fifth attack on or near schools in eight days, amid ongoing indirect negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas. The conflict has resulted in significant civilian casualties and widespread displacement in Gaza.
