GAZA STRIP:
The violence in the Gaza Strip continues to rock the coastal territory more than 14 months into the Israel-Hamas war, even as international mediators work to negotiate a ceasefire.
At least 13 people, including women and children, were killed when strikes hit two schools in eastern Gaza City, according to civil defence agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal.
"There are at least 13 martyrs, including children and women, as a result of the occupation targeting the Shabaan al-Rayes school and Al-Karama school in the Al-Daraj neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City," Bassal told AFP. He added that at least 30 others were wounded.
