Sharjah24 - Reuters: An Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced people in central Gaza killed at least 28 people including women and children on Thursday, while three hospitals in the north were told to evacuate, putting patients' lives at risk, medics said.
The strike, in which many more were wounded, occurred in the city of Deir Al-Balah where a million people have taken shelter after fleeing fighting elsewhere after more than a year of war.
The Israeli military said on Thursday it had carried out a "precise strike on terrorists" who had a command and control centre embedded in a school.
"This is a further example of the Hamas terrorist organisation’s systematic abuse of civilian infrastructure in violation of international law," a military statement said.
