Israel alleges several buildings are being used by Hamas. Local authorities and aid agencies say thousands of civilians are sheltering there.

Israel is intensifying its assault on Gaza as President Trump visits the Gulf region. At least 70 Palestinians, including many children, were killed earlier today when Israel struck five residential buildings in Jabaliya city and its refugee camp.

Forty-eight people were killed, including at least seven children, in Israeli airstrikes on school compounds sheltering thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza, hospital officials said.
