Gaza's civil defense agency reported on Saturday that at least 90 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced individuals in Gaza City. The attack, which hit the school with three rockets, was described as a "horrific massacre" with some bodies catching fire.

Israel's military stated that the strike targeted a Hamas command and control center located within the Al-Taba'een school. This incident comes just two days after Israeli strikes on two other schools in Gaza City, which reportedly killed over 18 people. Israel claimed those strikes targeted Hamas command centers.

The ongoing conflict has seen escalating violence since Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel. Israel has vowed to dismantle the Palestinian group, and international mediators are working to resume talks next week to prevent a broader regional conflict. Despite these efforts, tensions remain high.

The recent escalation has led to a humanitarian crisis, with significant displacement of civilians. UN humanitarian office OCHA estimated that at least 60,000 Palestinians have been displaced towards western Khan Yunis in the past 72 hours.

The conflict, which began with the October attack, has resulted in severe casualties on both sides. According to Gaza's health ministry, Israeli retaliatory strikes have caused the deaths of at least 39,699 people. The international community, including US, Qatari, and Egyptian leaders, has called for renewed peace talks to address the ongoing violence.

The broader Middle East is on edge, with fears of a regional war intensifying. The killing of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders has heightened these fears. Recent cross-border exchanges between Hezbollah and Israeli forces have further escalated tensions.

The United States, which has increased its military presence in the region, has urged both Iran and Israel to avoid further escalation.
