Tragedy Strikes: Israeli Airstrike on Gaza School Claims 80 Lives

 

In a devastating incident, an Israeli airstrike targeted a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City, resulting in the loss of at least 80 lives. Palestinian health authorities reported the casualties, making it one of the deadliest strikes in the ongoing 10-month conflict between Israel and Hamas.
