On Wednesday, Israeli airstrikes on a school in northern Gaza claimed the lives of 13 Palestinians, including a local journalist, Nour Abdu, according to local health authorities. This marks another tragic event amid the ongoing conflict as Israeli forces continue their aggressive campaign in the region.

The Karama School in Tuffah, a Gaza City suburb, was the latest target, with no immediate comment from the Israeli army on the incident. Similar attacks in central Gaza previously left 29 dead, including women and children. Israeli military sources justify these actions by citing operations against terrorists based in these locations.

Amidst the violence, the Al-Qassam Brigades reported mining operations against Israeli forces in Khan Younis. Meanwhile, in Rafah, residents attest to the ongoing demolition of homes by Israeli troops who are claiming strategic control over extensive areas of Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu has signaled an even more intense assault on Hamas, potentially seizing full control of Gaza.
