16 dead. A ceasefire hangs by a thread.

They were sheltering in a school.

Not firing rockets. Not carrying weapons.

Just trying to stay alive.

But yesterday, an Israeli airstrike hit the Fatima Bint Asad School in the
Jabalia refugee camp — a place where displaced families were sleeping on
classroom floors.

Sixteen people died. Five of them were children. Four were women. All of them
were civilians.

This wasn’t the first strike on a supposed “safe zone.” And all of it happened
as ceasefire negotiations are underway.

It begs the question: How do you negotiate peace when shelters become targets?

Meanwhile, Hamas just released Edan Alexander — an American-Israeli hostage
taken during the October 7 attacks — in a move many see as a signal toward
progress.

But in Gaza, progress looks like rubble.

International law requires the protection of civilians. The right to safety
should not depend on which side of a border you’re born on.

We break down what happened, what’s next for ceasefire talks, and how the world
is reacting.
