Read: Israel, Hamas locked in 'fierce battles' in GazaOn Saturday, the Israeli military said it had come under attack several times from Hamas "tunnel shafts and military compounds" in northern Gaza and had killed many "terrorists" and destroyed three observation posts. The ministry said at least 12 people had been killed when Israel struck a United Nations school where thousands of displaced Palestinians were sheltering. The Israeli military describes Gaza City as "the centre of the Hamas terror organisation" and says it is targeting militants, weapons stores, tunnel complexes and command centres. The Israeli military said Saturday it had struck "two terrorist cells" and a Hezbollah post in response to attempted firing from Lebanon. The United States has also urged the Palestinian Authority, which ceded power in Gaza to Hamas more than 15 years ago, to retake control.
