Dozens killed in Israeli strike on UN school in Gaza


JERUSALEM, June 6 (Reuters): Israel hit a Gaza school on Thursday with what it described as a targeted airstrike on up to 30 Hamas men inside, and a Hamas official said 40 people were killed including women and children sheltering at the UN site.

Video footage showed Palestinians hauling away bodies and scores of injured in a local hospital after the attack, which took place at a sensitive moment in mediated talks on a ceasefire that would involve releasing hostages held by Hamas and some of the Palestinians held in Israeli jails.
