In Gaza, Israeli officials have disputed medics reports that 87 people were killed or are missing after an IDF airstrike on the northern town of Beit Lahiya. On the battlefield, a military analyst has suggested that Israel is switching its objectives inside Gaza.

At least 20 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East school-turned-shelter in central Gaza, the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza said. The school was being used to shelter displaced people in Nuseirat camp, health authorities said. It was bombed on Sunday.

Israeli strikes in northern Gaza killed scores of people this weekend, according to local officials, with the bloodshed in the enclave and continued attacks in Lebanon dimming hopes that the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar might breathe new life into cease-fire talks that have been stalled for months.
