Around 20 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a former school building in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said on Monday.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that children were also among the victims.

In contrast, the Israeli army stated that the attack on Sunday evening targeted a "command and control centre of Hamas terrorists." They claimed that these individuals had been operating from the former school building in the so-called humanitarian zone in Khan Younis.

The claims from both sides could not be independently verified.

The trigger for the Gaza conflict was the massacre by Palestinian terrorists from the coastal strip on October 7, 2023, in Israel, resulting in 1,200 deaths and more than 250 abductions.

Since then, Israel has been fighting against the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement in Gaza, where, according to Palestinian sources from Sunday, around 45,000 people have been killed so far. These figures do not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
