Gaza hospital says 37 dead in strike on UN school
A Gaza hospital reported at least 37 people killed in an Israeli strike on a UN school, which Israel alleged housed Hamas militants. The strike came amid talks for a truce in the 8-month Gaza war sparked by a Hamas attack on Israel last October. The US called for transparency, while the UN condemned the civilian toll. Spain joined a case accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice. Tensions escalated with cross-border violence between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. AFP
