Dozens were wounded in addition to the 25 fatalities in the schools.
The air strike hit a tent area inside the Al-Aqsa hospital compound, starting a fire, wounding at least 18 people and killing five.
The Palestinian official news agency and Hamas media said dozens were wounded in addition to the 25 fatalities in the schools of Hassan Salama and Al-Nasser, which housed displaced Palestinian families. They said the strike destroyed several structures inside the facilities. The Israeli military said it struck a militant who “conducted terror activities” and that secondary explosions were identified, indicating weapons were present in the area.
An Israeli army spokesman posted orders on X, asking residents of those districts to head towards the humanitarian zone, saying forces would soon act forcefully against militants waging attacks from those areas.
