Dozens reported killed, in Israeli strike on Gaza school building

An Israeli air strike on a school building, sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City has killed dozens of people, Hamas-run authorities in the territory say.

A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said al-Taba’een school “served as an active Hamas and Islamic Jihad military facility” with approximately 20 “militants” operating there.

More than 60 people were killed and 47 injured, the health ministry’s ambulance service said, quoted by the AP news agency. Earlier, the Gaza civil defence agency – a rescue service – said at least 90 people were killed.
