An Israeli air strike on a school building sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City has killed dozens of people, Hamas-run authorities in the territory say.
A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces said al-Taba’een school "served as an active Hamas and Islamic Jihad military facility" with approximately 20 "militants" operating there.
More than 60 people were killed and 47 injured, the health ministry’s ambulance service said, quoted by the AP news agency.
Earlier, the Gaza civil defence agency – a rescue service – said at least 90 people were killed. The BBC cannot independently verify figures from either side.
According to the United Nations, 477 out of 564 school buildings in Gaza had been directly hit or damaged as of 6 July, with at least another 14 targeted since.
