GAZA (AFP): The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says at least 12 people were killed Saturday (Nov 4) when Israel struck a United Nations school where thousands of displaced Palestinians were sheltering.

The ministry reported in a statement "12 killed and upwards of 54 wounded so far as a result of targeting Al-Fakhura School, which is sheltering thousands of displaced people in Jabalia (refugee) camp in the northern Gaza Strip".
