Israel-Gaza-Lebanon live updates: IDF presses new north Gaza campaign

At least 28 Palestinians were killed in a single attack on a school in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.

Children are believed to be among the casualties in the attack on the Rufaydah school. The Israel Defense Forces said it was targeting a Hamas "command and control center" in what it called a "precise strike."

The strike occurred in the central region of the devastated strip, where Palestinians from the north have been ordered to evacuate by the IDF.

In the north, Israel is continuing an intense military operation in the Jabalia refugee camp, which is now sealed off and under IDF siege. This is the fourth major IDF operation in Jabalia since the start of the war.

The IDF, meanwhile, said it downed a drone launched into Israel from Gaza, with no injuries reported.

A total of 1.2 million people across the country have been displaced by Israeli air and ground attacks, the report said, citing OHCHR figures.

"For your safety and the safety of your family members, you must evacuate this building and the surrounding buildings immediately and stay away from them for a distance of no less than 500 meters," the IDF added.
