The Israeli Defense Forces launched an airstrike on a school in the northern Gaza Strip on the 10th, causing more than 100 casualties. This incident has attracted widespread attention from the international community. Qatar, Egypt, Iran, France and other countries have expressed strong condemnation, and the United States has also expressed "deep concern". According to AFP on the 11th, the Israeli Defense Forces issued a statement on the same day saying that it would readjust the so-called "humanitarian zone" designated in the Gaza Strip. The Jarrah area in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis will no longer be regarded as a "humanitarian zone". The Israeli army has issued a preliminary warning to the Palestinian people, asking them to temporarily evacuate to other "humanitarian zones".

According to CNN, Israel launched an airstrike on Tabin School, where a large number of Palestinians gathered, killing more than 100 people on the 10th. CNN quoted Fares Afana, head of the ambulance and emergency department in northern Gaza, as saying that "all those attacked were unarmed civilians, including children, the elderly and women." US media said that this was one of the deadliest attacks in this round of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

According to a statement released by the IDF to the media on the 10th, the IDF used three "precision-guided bombs" to strike two "Hamas (Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement) command posts" and eliminated 19 "Hamas and Jihad (Palestinian Islamic Jihad) militants". IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari also claimed that the casualty figures released by relevant agencies in Gaza did not match the information the IDF had. The Times of Israel quoted Hagari as saying that Hamas used school buildings as "military facilities and command centers" to store weapons and plan attacks, so the IDF carried out a "precision strike" on Hamas militants in Tabin School, "according to our intelligence, there were no women and children there". The statement said that "multiple intelligence" showed that Jihad military commander Ashraf Jadah was "very likely" also in the school.
