Israeli airstrike on school in northern Gaza kills at least 30 NHK

A: Hey there! Did you catch the news from Gaza?
B: Not yet, what's going on?

A: Well, Israeli troops attacked a school overnight. It used to be a command and control center but now it's sheltering lots of Gazans.

B: Oh no! What happened?

A: Tragically, at least 30 people were killed in the strike. The Defense Ministry claims they tried to avoid harming civilians, but Palestinian media says those killed were displaced people living in tents.

B: That's terrible! I hope the injured are okay...

A: Indeed, there are reports of injured people receiving treatment at a hospital in Gaza.

B: And what about the ceasefire talks?

A: Well, it seems they're deadlocked. Arab media says both Israel and Hamas are discussing a 70-day ceasefire, releasing hostages, and other measures. But Israeli media says they rejected the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal.

Israeli forces have carried out an airstrike on a school where many Gazans have taken shelter, killing at least 30 people.



Israeli troops continued attacks on Gaza overnight on Sunday. The Defense Ministry on Monday said the ministry and security agency jointly struck "key terrorists" in a command and control center that previously served as a school in the Gaza City area.



The ministry claimed that prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians.



But Palestinian media reported the same day that 30 Palestinians were killed when "Israeli occupation forces" bombed the school housing displaced people and fires broke out in the tents.



Footage taken by Reuters News Agency on Monday showed injured people receiving treatment at a hospital in Gaza.



Meanwhile, multiple Arab media have reported on the deadlocked ceasefire talks between Israel and the Islamic group Hamas.



Mediators, including the US, have suggested the two sides engage in negotiations for a full ceasefire during a proposed roughly 70-day ceasefire, while proceeding with the release of hostages, and other measures.



But Israeli media outlet Haaretz reported that Israel has rejected the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal.
Summary
Israeli forces attacked a school sheltering Gazans overnight, resulting in the deaths of at least 30 people. The Defense Ministry claims they targeted a command and control center while Palestinian media reports civilians living in tents were affected. Injured are receiving treatment at a hospital
