Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed at least 52 Palestinians, including 36 in a school serving as a shelter. Israel claims it targeted militants, while aid groups warn of a humanitarian crisis. A new Israeli-US backed aid system, rejected by UN agencies, is launching despite the resignation of its American head, citing lack of independence. Israel plans to seize control of Gaza and facilitate Palestinian migration, a plan opposed by Palestinians and the international community. Separately, ultranationalist Israelis marched in Jerusalem, with some breaking into a UN compound.
