Palestinian rescuers said this evening that in the Israeli attack on the UN school turned into a shelter near Gaza City, 14 people were killed and tens of people were wounded.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the attack on the school run by the UN Refugee Agency (UNRWA).
In recent months, Israel has carried out dozens of airstrikes on schools across the Palestinian enclave, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by the conflict have taken refuge.
The Gaza-based Civil Defense Emergency Service said rescuers had pulled 14 bodies from the ruins of a school in the Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City along the Mediterranean coast.
Israeli officials have previously justified such attacks by claiming that Hamas uses schools as bases for military operations.
Shortly after today's attack, the Israeli army ordered the evacuation of the Shati camp and other neighborhoods west of Gaza City.
This has caused panic among Palestinians who have sought refuge in the areas in recent days from a renewed Israeli offensive against Hamas extremists further north.
Since the beginning of the war between Hamas and Israel, which has lasted for more than a year, schools in Gaza have been closed and used as shelters.
Lebanese MP and Hezbollah spokesman Ibrahim al-Mousavi said today that there are little differences between those in the White House when it comes to the ceasefire.
He said that there can be a change in the party in power, but when it comes to Israel, they have more or less the same policy.
"We want to see actions, we want to see decisions being made," Mousavi told Reuters.
US diplomatic efforts to end fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, including a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire, fizzled last week ahead of Tuesday's US presidential election in which former US President Donald Trump won.
Mousavi said the heavy toll of the Israeli attacks, in which thousands of buildings are collapsing, is mainly in the south and east of Lebanon, and in the southern suburbs of Beirut, where Shiite Muslims dominate.
However, he added that the military capabilities of the organization remained strong.
"Our hearts are broken, we are losing very dear lives. This feeling that (Israel) cannot be punished or brought before an international court is the result of the support of the US, which gives them immunity from responsibility," said the Lebanese MP.
"America is fully a partner in what is happening because it can influence to prevent this destruction," Mousavi concluded.
Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany, announced that he will be in charge of negotiations with the Lebanese side to reach an agreement to end the war, the Lebanese broadcaster Al Jadid reported this Sunday.
In addition, it was reported that Trump intends to end the war before he takes office in January, Israeli media reported.

The southern parts of the capital of Lebanon, Beirut, were the target of an attack this morning, an hour after the Israeli army called on residents to evacuate, AFP reported.
The targets of at least two Israeli attacks were four settlements that it considers to be strongholds of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah movement.
Images released by AFP showed plumes of smoke over southern Beirut, and eyewitnesses reported loud detonations.
The spokesman of the Israeli army previously appealed to the residents of four southern neighborhoods of Beirut, including locations near the international airport, to evacuate.
