GAZA STRIP, Palestinian Territories, July 17, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - The civil defence agency in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip said three air strikes in less than one hour on Tuesday -- including on a school -- killed 48 people. Israel said it carried out two of the strikes that the civil defence agency said also left dozens more wounded. Five people were killed in a strike on people stood near a roundabout at Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, according to the official. At least seven schools, many of them managed by the United Nations when in operation, have now been the targets of Israeli strikes in 10 days. Israel's retaliatory campaign has killed at least 38,713 people, also mostly civilians, according to figures from Hamas-run Gaza's health ministry.
