An Israeli airstrike hit a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City early Saturday, killing at least 80 people. Palestinian health authorities said this is one of the deadliest strikes in the 10-month-old war between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli military acknowledged the strike, claiming it hit a Hamas command centre within the school but Hamas denied that.
