The Israeli army claims that an airstrike on an UNRWA school in the central Gaza Strip killed " many Hamas members." But according to the UN, between 35 and 45 civilians were killed in the attack. An army official said he didn't know anything about it.
A reporter for the AP news agency is in the hospital where the victims were taken. He saw at least 30 bodies, including 14 children.
According to the Israeli army, there were between 20 and 30 terrorists at the school, "many of whom" were reportedly killed. They are said to have been members of Hamas who participated in the October 7 attack and were in the school building with the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, planning a new attack on Israeli troops.
