Another 52 people were killed in Israeli attacks in various places in Gaza. International media reported that at least 12 people died in the attack on a school.

Thousands of displaced civilians are taking shelter in schools amid the war in Gaza Strip. Israel has been targeting schools lately.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has completed his 9th trip to the Middle East for the Gaza ceasefire. Attempts to persuade Israel for a ceasefire this time also seem to have failed.

On Monday, Blinken had a 3-hour long conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. But after Israel put more conditions, America became furious. Lately, as Hamas-Israel has been adding one condition after another, it seems that the mediator has become more and more capable of making the country cease to exist.
