Gaza’s civil defence agency said an Israeli strike on a school-turned-shelter in the Palestinian territory’s largest city killed 19 people, while Israel’s military said it targeted Hamas, AFP reports.

The dead included “13 children and six women”, one of whom was pregnant, said agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal.

There were “around 30 injured, including nine children (needing) limb amputations, as a result of an Israeli bombing on Al-Zaytoun School C” in Gaza City, he said.
