GAZA - Israeli strike has hit a UN-run school in northern Gaza, claiming the lives of six people including a woman and a child and injuring 11 others, medics say.
The school building in the northern town of Beit Lahiya caught fire after the bombing early on Saturday.
According to witnesses, angry clashes broke out around the school as Israeli tanks exchanged fire with Palestinian fighters.
This is the fourth school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA which has been hit by Israel during its 22-day-old offensive against the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, a two-year-old baby was killed in Israeli shelling in the northern town of Beit Hanun, medics said.
The huge number of civilian casualties in the densely-populated coastal sliver has provoked global outrage.
Mean in in Riyadh, Leaders of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) held an emergency summit here and discussed ways and means to stop Israel’s war on Gaza that has so far claimed close to 1,100 lives.
The leaders endorsed a broader agreement that calls for renewed efforts to halt the genocide and open corridors for relief supplies in the war-battered Gaza Strip.
The summit, which was called by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, urged the international community to stop the Israeli attack.
The extraordinary GCC summit was attended by Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa, UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan and Fahd bin Mahmoud Al-Saeed, deputy premier of Oman. A number of GCC ministers, members of the royal families and other high-ranking Gulf officials attended the summit.
