Borrell calls for probe after Israeli strike on UN school

European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called for a probe into an Israel i strike on a UN-run school in Gaza that medics said killed at least 40 people.

Video footage showed Palestinians hauling away bodies 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. Israel's military claimed its fighter jets had carried out a"precise strike" and circulated satellite photos highlighting two parts of a building where it said the fighters were based.

As people at the school cleared rubble from bloodstained classrooms, survivor Huda Abu Dhaher described waking up to the sound of rockets. Israel announced a new military campaign in central Gaza yesterday as it battles fighters relying on hit-and-run insurgency tactics. The incident was likely to challenge efforts to restore a sense of security in Israeli border communities that were overrun by Hamas-led gunmen on 7 October last year.
