An Israeli airstrike killed at least 14 people, including two children, when it hit a former school sheltering displaced Palestinian families in central Gaza, hospital officials say.
The Israeli military said it was targeting Hamas terrorists who were using the school to plan and carry out attacks against troops and Israel. The army says it took steps to mitigate civilian casualties.
Officials from Awda Hospital in Nuseirat say they had received 10 dead from the strike, and another four dead were brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. At least one woman and two children were among those killed, and at least 18 people were wounded in the strike, hospital officials say.
