Dozens of people have been reported dead after a strike on an Unrwa school in Gaza, as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launch an operation in central Gaza. Israel claims that the targeted school contained a militant compound, an allegation that Hamas has rejected. According to Israel's military, they have thwarted an attempt by a group of three terrorists to cross the border from Gaza. The IDF troops operating in the area of the security fence identified several suspects approaching the border from Gaza and moving towards Israel in the Rafah area. The suspects opened fire at the troops, who then returned fire. The situation in Gaza remains tense as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues.
