Israeli airstrikes hit a school being used by displaced people in central Gaza, killing dozens of people. The strikes were said to have targeted a Hamas command and control center. At least 11 people were also killed in other strikes on Saturday, leading to chaos and devastation in the region.
Israel also ordered the evacuation of a part of a designated humanitarian zone in Gaza ahead of further planned strikes. The war has killed over 39,100 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry, and has left thousands of children unaccompanied.
Negotiations for a cease-fire were ongoing, with officials from the U.S., Egypt, Qatar, and Israel set to meet in Italy to discuss the situation. A planned strike on Khan Younis was expected to target Hamas militants. The ongoing conflict has resulted in forced displacement orders for many Palestinians, with a lack of safe zones in the region.
Palestinians in Gaza mourned the deaths of seven people killed in airstrikes overnight in Zawaida, while the situation in the region remained dire. The war, which began with an assault by Hamas militants on southern Israel, has taken a heavy toll on civilians and children in Gaza. The violence has led to widespread devastation, displacement, and loss of life in the region.
