**GAZA CITY —** Israeli airstrikes killed at least 112 Palestinians across Gaza on Thursday, including 27 people—mostly women and children—at a school housing displaced families, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The attacks marked one of the bloodiest days since Israel resumed its offensive after a failed ceasefire in March.
