Escalation of violence in Gaza: dozens dead in attack on refugee school

The escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine has reached alarming levels in recent days, with dozens dead and massive destruction in the Gaza Strip. The attack on a school serving as a refugee camp has triggered a wave of international criticism, with Germany describing the action as "unacceptable". Palestinian officials have denounced that the Israeli airstrike on the school in southern Gaza has left at least 29 people dead, most of them women and children. This tragic event adds to a series of bombings against other schools in the region, which according to Palestinian authorities, have resulted in over 20 deaths. Israel has justified these attacks by citing the presence of Palestinian militants in the schools, an explanation that has been rejected by the international community. Germany has urged Israeli authorities to halt the bombings of civilian facilities and has called for an immediate investigation into these events. The situation in Gaza has become even more desperate with the discovery of nearly 60 bodies under the rubble in the Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza City. After over nine months of conflict, talks to achieve a ceasefire and the release of hostages have continued in Qatar, in an attempt to halt the spiral of violence. The Israeli army has announced the completion of its operations in Shujaiya, where they claimed to have destroyed tunnels and eliminated "dozens of terrorists". However, residents returning to their devastated homes have described the destruction as unimaginable, with 85% of buildings declared uninhabitable. As the violence escalates, diplomatic negotiations are ongoing, with international mediators trying to find a solution to the crisis. Hamas has indicated flexibility in its demands for a permanent ceasefire, while Israel has reiterated its commitment to security and defending its borders. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has emphasized the need to maintain control of certain strategic areas in the Gaza Strip as part of any ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, an Israeli delegation is heading to Cairo to continue talks with the aim of ending the conflict that has claimed thousands of innocent lives. The international community has strongly condemned the attacks on civilians and has urged both parties to seek a peaceful and lasting solution to the conflict. With each passing day, the tragedy in Gaza deepens, leaving thousands of people trapped amid violence and suffering. It is urgent to find a negotiated way out to end this spiral of destruction and death.
