Palestinian health officials say an apparent Israeli airstrike on a school where displaced people were sheltering in southern Gaza has today killed at least 19 Palestinians and wounded dozens more.
The Health Ministry and a spokesman for a local hospital confirmed the toll and said it was likely to rise as more wounded people were being brought in.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
Israel’s new ground assault in Gaza’s largest city is its latest effort to battle Hamas militants regrouping in areas the army previously said had been largely cleared.
Large parts of Gaza City and urban areas around it have been flattened or left a shattered landscape after nine months of fighting.
Much of the population fled earlier in the war, but several hundred thousand Palestinians remain in the north.
