  • The number of people killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut on Friday has risen to at least 31 people, Lebanon’s health ministry said.

At least 17 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school that was housing displaced people in Gaza, Palestinian officials say.

Gaza’s civil defence agency says eight children are among the dead, with more than 30 other people injured, after an Israeli rocket hit the Al-Zaytoun School C in Gaza City.

Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal said thousands of people had sought shelter at the school.

Israel’s military said in a statement the air force had “conducted a precise strike on terrorists who were operating inside a Hamas command and control centre in Gaza City”.

It said the target was “embedded inside” the Al Falah School, which is adjacent to the Al-Zaytoun School buildings.
