Israel’s military bombed the UN-operated al-Jaouni school in central Gaza, killing at least 18 people. Witnesses say “women and children were blown to pieces” in the assault.
Six of the victims were UNRWA staff, including the manager of the shelter. The agency said it was the highest death toll for its staff in a single incident in the 11-month war.
At least 41,084 people have been killed and 95,029 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. In Israel, the number of those killed in the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 is at least 1,139, while more than 200 people were taken captive.
