A series of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have led to significant casualties, with reports indicating at least 28 people killed in a strike on a school that was sheltering displaced Palestinians. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claim the strikes targeted Hamas militants, while Palestinian officials report high civilian death tolls amidst ongoing military operations. Rescuers and medical sources have confirmed that the brutal bombardments have claimed the lives of dozens while leaving many wounded. Humanitarian agencies warn of a catastrophic situation, as over 400,000 people are trapped in northern Gaza and facing dire conditions due to the intensified offensive. The international community is urged to intervene as the death toll continues to rise dramatically, surpassing 42,000.
