In a recent airstrike on a school in Abasan, a town near Khan Younis, Gaza, dozens of civilians, including women and children, have been reported killed. The Israeli military has been intensifying its operations in the region, aiming at Hamas militants, but causing significant civilian casualties. The strike targeted tents of displaced families outside a UN-run school, with survivors describing a scene of chaos and devastation. This incident is part of the ongoing conflict following an October 7 terror attack by Hamas on Southern Israel, which resulted in around 1,200 deaths. Efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and hostage release are currently ongoing, despite the increased ground assaults and bombardments raising concerns over the future of these talks.
