Around 27 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza school, with Israel claiming that the compound housed Hamas militants, Reuters reported. However, local media said the school compound was sheltering people displaced due to the ongoing war.
Israel claimed the United Nations school in Nuseirat, in central Gaza, had a hidden Hamas command post. It said the compound housed Hamas fighters involved in the October 7, 20023, attack on Israel that triggered the war, which is now in its eighth month.
Israel's military said that before the strike by fighter jets, steps were taken to reduce civilian casualties.
