At least 30 people sheltering at a girls’ school in Deir Al-Balah were taken to Al Aqsa Hospital and pronounced dead. Israel’s military said they targeted a Hamas command and control centre used to store weapons and plan attacks.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said at least 11 people were killed in other strikes on Saturday.
