Gaza's civil defense agency said an Israeli strike struck a school compound in Gaza City on Saturday, killing at least 10 people.

"There are 10 martyrs and several wounded due to Israeli bombardment on Hamama school," agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP. The Israeli military confirmed the strike, saying it had hit a Hamas command and control centre located inside the compound.

Bassal said the compound was housing Palestinians displaced from their homes in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas militants.


The military said the compound was being used by Hamas militants to manufacture weapons, adding it was a "hiding place for Hamas terrorists".
