Israel targeted a Gaza school, claiming it contained Hamas fighters, killing 27 civilians seeking shelter, which Hamas denied. Hamas leader Haniyeh rejected the U.S. ceasefire proposal, demanding a permanent Israeli withdrawal.

The eight-month war erupted after a Hamas attack killed 1,200 Israelis.
