The health ministry in the Gaza Strip has said an Israeli strike hit a school housing a field hospital, killing at least 30 people and wounding more than 100, AFP reports.

“A short while ago, the targeting of Khadija school, which had a field medical unit inside it, in Deir el-Balah area, resulted in 30 martyrs and more than 100 wounded,” the ministry said in a statement.

Israeli military said it carried out a strike on the school, claiming it was targeting “terrorists” operating there.
