# Intense Israeli bombings hit several areas of Gaza on Wednesday, killing 25 people, including eleven at a school sheltering displaced people in al-Tuffah. Israeli officials say fighters from Hamas and allied factions hide behind civilian infrastructure, claims that the Palestinian militant group denies. Israel has renewed its aerial and ground campaign since the collapse of a two-month-old ceasefire and hostage and prisoner release swap in mid-March. More than 51-thousand-300 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory offensive after the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack.
