Tragedy in Gaza: Israeli Airstrike Hits School, Killing 30 Including Children

 

In a devastating incident on Saturday, an Israeli airstrike targeted a school in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, which was being used as a shelter by displaced Palestinians. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 30 people, including several children.

The school, which housed thousands of people seeking refuge from ongoing conflict, was struck amidst escalating tensions.

The ongoing conflict continues to take a heavy toll on the civilian population, with urgent appeals for peace and humanitarian aid growing louder.
