The strike, which occurred early this morning, hit a densely populated neighborhood, causing significant damage to the building and surrounding infrastructure. The Israeli military confirmed the operation, stating that it was aimed at eliminating key militant targets. However, the high civilian casualty rate has sparked widespread condemnation and heightened tensions in the region.
This shift in focus was highlighted earlier this week by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who addressed the IDF’s 9th Brigade. Gallant noted that the strategic "center of gravity" is now shifting towards the northern border, with Israeli forces concluding operations in the south and preparing for further actions in the north. He emphasized that the IDF's focus would be on restoring security and enabling residents to return to their homes, underscoring the seriousness of the northern front's military importance.
The press conference took place mid-flight on the Airbus A350-900, approximately 10 kilometers above ground.

The school, which had been hit five times since the onset of the current conflict, was home to around 12,000 displaced individuals at the time of the strikes. The UNRWA condemned the attacks, stating, "No one is safe in Gaza; no one is spared." The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) asserted that their airstrikes were aimed at a Hamas command and control center. IDF spokesman Nadav Shoshani confirmed that the military had requested detailed information from UNRWA to review the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
The protest was part of a broader movement calling for increased international attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Thunberg, known for her prominent role in climate activism, joined the demonstration to lend her voice to the cause, which led to her involvement in the confrontation with police.
In Tel Aviv, tens of thousands took to the streets in one of the largest protests since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict. Protesters like Anna Rubin expressed their frustration, highlighting how the inability to save the hostages has become a breaking point for many Israelis. The intensity of the demonstrations reflects a growing sentiment that the government’s handling of the situation has been inadequate.
The humanitarian organization Save the Children has called on the UK government to immediately cease arms sales to Israel, citing concerns over potential violations of international humanitarian law.
Iran’s IRGC has pledged support for a Gaza ceasefire and warned that its retaliatory response to Haniyeh's assassination will be strategically timed and markedly different from previous actions.
The school, which was providing shelter to hundreds of displaced individuals, became the latest target in Israel’s ongoing military operations in the region.
The ongoing conflict has seen over 40,000 Palestinians killed, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, with recent Israeli attacks causing additional casualties. In the latest 48-hour period, Israeli strikes resulted in 69 deaths and 136 injuries. The violence has led to widespread evacuations in northern and southern Gaza, including areas previously deemed “safe zones.”
