Israeli strikes have pounded the Gaza Strip, killing dozens, including people in a school-turned-shelter that was hit as people slept. Local health officials said that the death toll by noon was at least 52, including 36 people killed at the school. The Israeli military said it targeted militants operating from the school. The military also said that three projectiles were fired toward southern Israel from Gaza on Monday. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, meanwhile, says it’s still going ahead with its launch of aid operations in the enclave despite the unexpected resignation of its executive director over the weekend.
