Israeli forces targeted yet another school-turned shelter in the war-battered Gaza Strip in overnight strikes on Sunday, as its military onslaught remains ongoing for over 15 months.
At least five people were killed in the strike on Gaza City’s Salah al-Din school, Palestinian media said, which was sheltering scores displaced by Israel’s war.
Israel has repeatedly targeted such shelters, often those which are affiliated with UNRWA, during its war on the Palestinian enclave.
Northern parts of Gaza were also targeted late on Sunday and early on Monday, with at least 11 people killed.
Casualties were reported in Jabalia and neighbourhoods in eastern Shujaiya.
Meanwhile, ceasefire mediator Qatar has handed Israel and Hamas a “final” draft of a ceasefire and hostage release agreement designed to end the war in Gaza, an official briefed on the negotiations told Reuters on Monday.
A breakthrough was reached in Doha after midnight following talks between Israel’s spy chiefs, President-elect Trump’s Middle East envoy and Qatar’s prime minister, the official said.
US President Joe Biden reportedly spoke on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House said.
