Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s live coverage of the Israel-Gaza war and the wider crisis in the Middle East. At least 13 Palestinians were killed and 15 wounded in Israeli strikes on a school sheltering refugees and a residential building in Gaza, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency reported early on Saturday. Wafa said at least eight of the dead were in refugee tents at Halima al-Sa’diyya school in Jabalia, northern Gaza, Reuters reports.
The Israeli army said in a statement it had “conducted a precise strike on terrorists who were operating inside a Hamas command and control centre … embedded inside a compound that previously served as the ‘Halima al-Sa’diyya’ School in the northern Gaza Strip”. In a separate incident, five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential building in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.
