At least 10 Palestinians were killed and dozens of others wounded on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on a school housing displaced people in Gaza City, reported Xinhua, quoting Palestinian sources.
Security sources told Xinhua that an Israeli army hit the Holy Family school in the west of Gaza City.
Meanwhile, medical sources said the rescue teams recovered the bodies of at least 10 people and are still searching for survivors.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Sunday that based on intelligence, the Israeli Air Force struck a complex and a Hamas weapons manufacturing facility in the area of a school in Gaza City.
IDF added that before the strike, numerous steps were taken to "mitigate the risk of harming civilians."
Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and around 250 were taken hostage.
