Headline: UNCAPTIONED: School Hit as Gaza Death Toll Mounts
Caption: School Hit as Gaza Death Toll Mounts. At least 54 Palestinians were killed overnight in Israeli airstrikes, including a deadly hit on a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City. Fahmi Al-Jargawi School, filled with people fleeing Beit Lahia, was engulfed in flames after the strike; many victims were burned beyond recognition. Officials said 20 bodies, including children, were recovered from the school—two classrooms had been converted into makeshift living quarters. The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted a Hamas and Islamic Jihad command center allegedly planning attacks. Israel also accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields, a claim the group has repeatedly denied. Eyewitnesses described a horrific scene: charred bodies, screaming survivors, and children fainting from the trauma. Among the dead was a senior Hamas police investigator, Mohammad Al-Kasih, along with his wife and children. A separate airstrike on a house in Jabalia killed 19 more people; the Israeli military has not commented on that attack. Israel says it struck 200 targets across Gaza in just 48 hours, continuing its intensified northern offensive. On Friday, nine of a Palestinian doctor’s ten children were killed in an airstrike on their home; the military is reviewing the incident. The Red Cross confirmed two of its staff were killed in Khan Younis, calling the civilian death toll in Gaza intolerable. As aid struggles to enter Gaza, international calls for a ceasefire grow louder—20 nations met Sunday in Madrid to press for an end to the war.
