IDF Airstrike in Gaza Kills 93, Escalates Tensions

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a significant airstrike on a school and mosque in Gaza City, alleging the presence of a Hamas command and control center, resulting in at least 93 Palestinian casualties according to local officials, although the IDF disputes these figures. Hamas denies militants were present in the building, while the IDF maintains that extensive precautions were taken to minimize civilian harm. Concurrently, tensions escalate along Israel's northern border, with Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon following rocket attacks into northern Israel. Hezbollah retaliated with drone and rocket strikes, leading to multiple injuries and heightened conflict. Israeli aircraft also conducted low-altitude flights over Beirut, contributing to rising fears and mass evacuations. Amidst these developments, Israel continues to intercept aerial threats crossing from Lebanon, emphasizing its efforts to neutralize potential attacks.
