The death toll in an Israeli strike on a Gaza City school-turned-shelter has risen to 36, Hamas-run authorities say.

The Israel Defense Forces said the early-morning strike on the Fahmi Al-Jarjawi school targeted “key terrorists” in a command center.

The strike apparently sparked a number of blazes.
