Rescuers say that at least 69 people were killed by Israeli fire throughout Gaza on Thursday, and Israel has increased the bombing of Palestinian territories.

One of the air strikes killed 15 people in a school that turned into the displaced families in Gaza City, according to the Hamas Civil Defense Agency. The Israeli army said it had targeted the “key” of Amas in Hamas, based there.

The Civil Defense also stated that 38 people were killed during their queue for help, or on their way to receive it. The army said that such reports of great losses were “lies.”

This comes at a time when the pressure on both Israel and enthusiasm is escalating to agree to the ceasefire deal and the new hostages paid by US President Donald Trump.

Trump announced on Tuesday that Israel agreed to the “necessary conditions” to end the ceasefire for 60 days. However, there are still obstacles that can prevent a rapid agreement.

Hamas said that she is studying the proposals – whose details are still not publicly published – but still want an end to the Israeli war and withdrawal from Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will travel to Washington on Monday, insisted that the Palestinian armed group must be eliminated.

On Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that its aircraft struck about 150 “terrorist targets” across Gaza over the past 24 hours, including fighters, tunnels and weapons.

The Hamas -running Ministry of Health in Gaza said 118 people were killed during the same period.

Fifteen people, most of whom were women and children, were killed when one of the families caused by the school in the Al -Hudayh neighborhood in Gaza City was injured before dawn on Thursday, the civil defense agency, which was killed by Hamas and the Masters.

The witness told Reuters news agency: “Suddenly, we found that the tent collapses on us and burned a fire … What can we do? Is it fair to burn all these children?”

The Israeli Defense Army said it was a “major terrorist in Hamas” who was working in the “Command and Control Center” in Gaza City, without mentioning the school.

The Israeli Defense Army added that it took many steps to alleviate the risk of harm to civilians and accused Hamas of using human shields – a claim that the group has repeatedly denied.

According to at least five other people of the displaced people, a tent was hit during the night in the southern Maasi area, where the Israeli Defense Army informed the residents of the areas affected by its evacuation orders to go to their safety.

Ashraf Abu Shaba, who lived in a neighboring tent, said that he saw the bodies of children and women wrapped in blankets after that.

“Occupation [Israel] The allegations there are safe areas, but there are no safe areas. Every place is a goal … the situation is unbearable. “

Later, civil defense spokesman, Mahmoud Basel, told Agence France -Presse that 38 people were killed by Israeli forces while asking for help.

He said that 25 were killed near the Israel army corridor in the center of Gaza. He died in another location nearby, while seven were killed in the southern Rafih area.

The paramedics at Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis told Reuters that at least 20 people were killed on their way to the aid distribution center.

There was no direct response to the reports from the IDF.

Last week, the Israel Defense Army said it was studying reports that civilians were harmed while approaching the sites in the south and central Gaza run by the United States and Israel Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

On Thursday, the Israeli Defense Army spokesman, Breej Jin Evi Defirin, admitted that the Israeli forces were facing a “complex challenge” and drawn “lessons from every incident to prevent similar cases in the future.”

But he declared: “The reports of the extensive victims in aid distribution centers are lies.”

There have been reports of fatal accidents near the distribution sites almost every day since the start of GHF on May 26.

According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, at least 408 people have been killed near the GHF centers in the past five weeks. 175 other people have been killed for assistance elsewhere, including along the roads used by United Nations convoys for aid.

“Distribution in all sites runs smoothly,” said GHF, which uses more than a million food boxes, “said GHF, who uses US private security contractors.

GHF also rejected “categorically wrong” allegations by a former security contractor, who told BBC that he had witnessed colleagues running out of civilians waiting for help.

The United Nations and other relief groups refuse to cooperate with GHF, saying that its new system contradicts its basic humanitarian principles.

The United States and Israel say the GHF system will prevent aid by Hamas.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 on Israel, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken into account.

At least 57,130 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Ministry of Health in the region.
