GAZA, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- At least four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced persons in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said on Sunday.

Palestinian security sources told Xinhua that an Israeli aircraft bombed the Umm al-Fahm school, which is located west of Beit Lahia town in northern Gaza and has now been converted into a shelter for displaced families.

Medical sources said the airstrike resulted in at least four deaths and several injuries with varying degrees of severity.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that the Air Force "conducted a precise strike" against militants operating within a Hamas command and control center embedded inside a compound that previously served as the "Umm al-Fahm" school.

According to a statement by Gaza-based health authorities on Sunday, 41,595 Palestinians have been killed since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. Enditem
