An Israeli airstrike on a Gaza school sheltering displaced people resulted in over 100 Palestinian deaths and numerous injuries, according to the official Palestinian news agency. The school was targeted during the early hours while people were performing dawn prayers.

The Gaza government's media office, run by Hamas, stated that the rapid rise in casualties was due to the Israeli strikes targeting displaced people at a highly vulnerable time.

The Israeli army, however, reported that its air forces had targeted a Hamas command and control centre within the Al-Taba'een school. The army emphasized that steps were taken to minimize civilian risk, such as the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.
