Israeli airstrike kills 10 in Gaza

At least 10 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a former Gaza school building.

The Palestinian Civil Defence said on Wednesday.

The Israeli army said the air force targeted a command centre of the militant organisation, Hamas, inside the former school.

The military said Hamas had used the building for planning and executing attacks on Israeli troops.

12 more people were injured in the attack in Rafah, reported a doctor at the European Hospital in nearby Khan Younis.

An Israeli military spokesman said the reports were being examined.

According to the Hamas-controlled health authority, more than 41,270 people have been killed since the war began on October 7, 2023.

About a third of the dead are said to be children and adolescents under the age of 18.

The authority generally does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
