An Israeli airstrike on the Al-Tabeen school in Gaza City killed at least 100 people, drawing widespread international condemnation. The IDF claimed the strike targeted a Hamas command center and killed 31 militants, including senior commanders, but the Hamas-run civil defense agency reported a higher civilian death toll. The attack, which occurred during morning prayers, has sparked criticism from human rights groups and leaders worldwide, including the US, EU, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, calling for a ceasefire and investigation into potential war crimes. This incident is part of an ongoing conflict that has displaced millions and led to severe humanitarian crises in Gaza. The Israeli military expressed skepticism over the reported civilian casualties, accusing Hamas of using civilians as human shields. Efforts for a ceasefire continue to face significant obstacles amidst escalating violence.
