CAIRO/RAMALLAH (Reuters) — On Saturday, an Israeli attack on a school sheltering displaced persons in Gaza City killed at least 15 Palestinians, hours after two strikes in the occupied West Bank killed nine fighters, including a local Hamas commander, Hamas reported.

The Israeli military said the first of two West Bank airstrikes hit a vehicle in a town near Tulkarm, targeting a convoy of fighters on their way to launch an attack.

According to a Hamas statement, one of those slain was a commander of the organization’s Tulkarm brigades, while its partner Islamic Jihad said the other four individuals killed in the hit were combatants.
