At least 90 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a school in Gaza City, which was housing displaced people, according to the Gaza civil defence agency. Gaza's civil defence agency said Saturday at least 90 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a school housing displaced people in the besieged Palestinian territory. The agency said three Israeli rockets hit the school in Gaza City, describing the incident as a "horrific massacre", with some bodies catching fire. Palestinian militants seized 251 hostages, 111 of whom are still held in Gaza, including 39 the Israeli military says are dead. Haniyeh's killing came hours after an Israeli strike on Beirut killed Fuad Shukr, the military chief of Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah movement.
