A hospital in Gaza said the death toll from an Israeli air strike on a UN school, which the military said housed a “Hamas compound”, has risen to 37, AFP reports.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir al Balah said it had received “37 martyrs” from the strike on the UN school, updating an earlier figure of 27 given by the Hamas media office.
The Israeli army said a fighter jet conducted a “precise strike on a Hamas compound embedded inside a UNRWA school in the area of Nuseirat,” referring to the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees.
