An Israeli airstrike on a Gaza school compound, alleged to house displaced families, claimed the lives of approximately 100 people, as per the Hamas-run Gaza government. The Israeli military has contested the death toll, stating that they targeted Hamas militants operating from the site.

Footage from the location depicted harrowing scenes of body parts scattered on the ground, bodies being carried away, and a child's doll amid the debris. Men prayed over a dozen body bags in another part of the Tabeen school complex.

The conflicting narratives have fueled international condemnation and calls for ceasefire talks. Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have condemned the strike and urged for an end to the violence. New ceasefire negotiations are scheduled following increasing fears of a broader conflict.
