The United Nations has condemned an Israeli airstrike on a UN-run school in central Gaza which resulted in the death of at least 35 people and injured many others. The school, sheltering around 6,000 Palestinians at the time, was targeted by Israel under the claim of housing Hamas Fighters linked to the October 7th terror attacks. Despite growing calls for an independent investigation into the incident, Israel stands by its decision, asserting that the strike was aimed at members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad present within the school premises. The UN has accused Israel of violating international humanitarian law.
