Israeli Strike On Gaza School Kills 16 And Injures Dozens

At least 16 people have been killed and dozens of others injured after Israel struck a school in central Gaza, Palestinian officials said. The airstrike targeted a school that was sheltering displaced Palestinians, said officials from Gaza’s ministry of health.

However, Israel said their strike was targeting Hamas militants who were using the area as a hideout to plan and carry out attacks against its soldiers. It also said it took precautions to minimise damage to civilians before launching the airstrike.

Dutch rivals were never pals - but now they're foes

They are not friends, according to Arne Slot. “Friends is someone you see a lot and go out with for dinner with,” said the Liverpool manager. Erik ten Hag does not belong in that category.
