"The bodies of 25 martyrs, mostly children and women, and 50 other wounded, also mostly children and women, were taken to Baptist hospital after an Israeli strike targeted Hassan Salameh and Al-Nasr schools in Gaza City," agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

The strike was confirmed by Israel's army.
