At least 30 martyred in Israeli strike on Gaza school

At least 30 people, including children, have been killed and many more injured following an Israeli airstrike on a school in central Gaza, which was sheltering wounded and displaced Palestinians, according to health officials.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported that the victims were mostly civilians, with many being children. Gaza's civil defense service confirmed that the school was providing refuge to displaced individuals. Hamas condemned the attack, highlighting that the victims included many women and children.

Footage from the scene depicts a chaotic aftermath, with people scrambling through rubble. The video shows men carrying bloodied children, a woman holding another child, and a group transporting an injured man on a stretcher. A body covered by a blanket is visible on the ground.

Since Saturday morning, Gaza's Health Ministry has reported that 53 people have died and 189 have been injured due to Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) bombings in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis. The strike occurred amid Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza, which has claimed over 39,000 Palestinian lives, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
